About St Mary and St Peter Catholic Primary School

St Mary and St Peter Catholic Primary School in Great Yarmouth was rated Good overall by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2022, a clear improvement from its Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The school now holds Good across every assessed category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The most telling exam metric comes from Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year: 43% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the Norfolk local authority average of 52%, placing the school 24th out of 27 primary schools in Great Yarmouth and in the bottom half nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading and maths average scores of 105 and 104 respectively are both above the national benchmark of 100, and 75% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading alone.
