About St Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School

St Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School in Merton holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s strongest academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 69%. That figure is just above the Merton local authority average of 68%, placing the school in the middle of the pack locally — it ranks 21st out of 42 primary schools in the borough. In the national rankings, it sits in the 35th percentile, meaning roughly a third of schools nationally perform better on this measure. The school’s ranking score of 69 puts it in the top 50 tier of its local authority, though it sits some way behind the top performers like Benedict Academy and Park Academy, which both score 88 or above.
