About St Peter's Catholic Primary School

Ofsted's Parent View responses for St Peter's Catholic Primary School, collected between September 2024 and September 2025, paint a remarkably positive picture. A full 94% of the 31 parents who responded would recommend the school to other families. The strongest signals come from questions about happiness and safety: 84% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and the same proportion strongly agreed that their child feels safe. No parent disagreed with either statement. Behaviour is also seen as a strength, with 71% strongly agreeing that the school ensures pupils are well behaved, though a small minority (3%) strongly disagreed. The school is clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 intake, it was oversubscribed by a ratio of 3:1, receiving 18 applications for just 6 places, with all 6 first-preference applicants receiving offers. This level of demand suggests a school that local families are actively choosing.
