About St Peter and St Paul Catholic Primary School

St Peter and St Paul Catholic Primary School in Islington was rated Good across all five categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a consistent outcome compared with its previous inspection in 2015. The school’s strongest academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 86 per cent. That figure is well above the Islington local authority average of 68 per cent for primary schools, and it places the school fifth out of 39 primaries in the borough. In the London region, it ranks 165th out of 1,592 schools, putting it in the top 11 per cent regionally, and nationally it sits in the top 5 per cent of all primary schools. These results suggest a school that is performing significantly above the local norm, particularly given that more than half of its pupils — 56.8 per cent — are eligible for free school meals.
