SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School
About SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School
SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School sits within Staffordshire local authority, a small primary with just 118 pupils on roll. In the Lichfield area, it ranks 30th out of 34 primary schools when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 — a position that places it in the bottom half of local schools. The top-performing peers in the same authority include St John's Catholic Primary School, Woodseaves CE Primary Academy and Needwood CofE Primary School, each of which achieved a perfect ranking score on the same metric. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 14 places in the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 20 applications, all of which were first-preference choices, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.43. That level of demand suggests strong local reputation, even if the raw academic ranking is modest compared with the very highest-performing neighbours.
