About St Peter's Catholic First School

St Peter's Catholic First School in Bromsgrove serves children from age 3 to 9 and, on the headline academic measure for primary schools in Worcestershire, sits slightly below the local authority average. The most recent Key Stage 2 data for the LA shows an average of 61 percent of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, while St Peter's achieved 60 percent. That one-point gap is marginal, but it places the school just behind the county norm for its phase. The school's Progress 8 score is not available in the data, so the comparison rests on the KS2 attainment figure alone. What stands out is that St Peter's is oversubscribed by a considerable margin — 65 applications for 29 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 27 first-preference offers made — suggesting strong local demand despite the attainment figure being in line with rather than ahead of the LA average. The school's Roman Catholic character and first-school structure (ending at Year 4) likely shape its appeal to families seeking a faith-based start before a middle school transition.
