About Robert Peel Primary School

Robert Peel Primary School in Central Bedfordshire holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, but the detail beneath that headline tells a more nuanced story. The school was judged Outstanding for personal development, a standout grade that reflects how well it supports children's broader growth. Academically, the key metric to look at is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2: 64% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That is ten percentage points above the local authority average of 54%, placing the school 10th out of 34 primary schools in Central Bedfordshire and inside the top 50% nationally. Individual subject scores are solid too, with average scaled scores of 104 in both reading and maths, and 73% of pupils meeting the expected standard in maths specifically. The school is not among the very highest performers in the area — Lark Rise Academy and Totternhoe Church of England Academy sit above it — but it is comfortably above the local norm.
