About Peter Hills with St Mary's and St Paul's CofE Primary School

Peter Hills with St Mary's and St Paul's CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, with two standout areas graded Outstanding: personal development and behaviour and attitudes. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which sits at 55%. That is notably below the Southwark local authority average of 68%, and places the school 50th out of 60 primary schools in the borough. In the broader London region, it ranks in the bottom half of schools on this measure. The individual subject scores paint a more mixed picture: 82% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and 73% in maths, but writing lagged at 64%. Only 27% reached the higher standard in reading, and just 9% in writing.
