About St Peter's Catholic Primary School

St Peter's Catholic Primary School sits within Stockport local authority, where it ranks 5th out of 86 primary schools of the same type. That puts it among the very strongest in the area, just behind top-performing peers like Gatley Primary School, St John's Church of England Primary School, and Bradshaw Hall Primary School. The school is one of only seven primaries in Stockport rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and its most recent inspection in February 2025 confirmed that rating across every category judged: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision were all graded 1 (Outstanding). The nearest Outstanding-rated neighbour is Ladybrook Primary School, 1.8 kilometres away. Headteacher Kevin Platt leads a school that is at full capacity with 210 pupils, and it is clearly popular with local families: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 84 applications for just 29 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.9 to one. All 26 first-preference applicants were offered a place.
