About St. Peter's CE Primary Academy

St. Peter's CE Primary Academy sits well above the Wiltshire average for its key stage 2 headline measure. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 58%, St. Peter's achieves 78% — a full 20 percentage points higher. That places the school 19th out of 159 primary schools in the county, comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. It's a strong result for a school that is also oversubscribed: for its 59 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 96 applications, with 59 first-preference families vying for those spots. The school's Church of England character and its Good Ofsted rating from November 2022 — with every category including behaviour, personal development and early years provision judged Good — add further context. Under headteacher Oliver Martindale, this is a school that clearly performs above the local norm.
