About St Peter and St Paul CofE Primary School

If you are looking at St Peter and St Paul CofE Primary School, the first thing you will notice is how strongly parents feel about it. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, a remarkable 97% of the 59 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That is a very high vote of confidence. Digging into the detail, 90% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 93% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. The school is also clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 141 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.35.
