About Saint Michael CofE Primary School

Saint Michael CofE Primary School in Peterborough received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in September 2022, a downgrade from its previous Requires improvement grade in 2018. The school’s overall effectiveness and quality of education both scored 3 on the four-point scale, while leadership and management also dropped to a 3. However, several areas were rated Good: personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and early years provision. This mixed picture means that while the school has clear strengths in how it supports pupils’ personal growth and conduct, the core academic delivery needs work. The most telling exam metric is the local authority’s average Key Stage 2 score of 59, which provides a benchmark for how Saint Michael’s pupils typically perform compared with other primary schools in Peterborough. Without the school’s own published KS2 results, parents will want to look closely at whether the school is closing the gap to that LA average.
