About St Peter and St Paul RC Primary School a Voluntary Academy

St Peter and St Paul RC Primary School a Voluntary Academy sits within the Bolton local authority, one of 97 primary schools in the area. It is not among the very highest-ranked local primaries — the top three, The Olive School Bolton, The Oaks Primary School and Beaumont Primary School, all hold stronger overall scores — but the school has carved out a steady reputation. Its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2012, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. An ungraded inspection in 2020 confirmed that the school remains Good, meaning it has held that rating for over a decade. That is a solid position in a local authority where only 16 primaries are rated Outstanding. The nearest Outstanding Catholic primary, St William of York, is 1.2 kilometres away, giving families in the area a clear alternative if they are seeking that top grade. For those who prioritise a consistent Good rating with a Catholic character, St Peter and St Paul offers a reliable choice within Bolton’s primary landscape.
