About St. Peter's Church of England First School

Parents considering St. Peter's Church of England First School will find a small, close-knit setting where demand is notably high. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 11 applications for just 6 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.83, and all 6 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This suggests a strong local reputation despite the school's modest size. With only 38 pupils on roll against a capacity of 87, the school is operating well below its potential intake, which may appeal to families seeking a genuinely small-scale environment. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated overall effectiveness as Requires Improvement, a downgrade from its previous Good rating in 2014. However, inspectors noted that early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes all remain Good, indicating that the school retains strengths in key pastoral areas even as leadership and management and the quality of education need attention.
