About St Peter's Church of England Middle School
St Peter's Church of England Middle School has a strong parent endorsement, with 92% of parents recommending the school in the most recent Parent View survey. The school is also notably oversubscribed, with 1.4 applications for every available place, suggesting it is a popular choice among local families. This middle school, which serves pupils aged 9 to 13, is part of the Windsor and Maidenhead local authority and operates as a state-funded, mixed-gender Church of England school. The current headteacher is Alexandra Burke, and the school has a capacity of 327 pupils, with 289 currently enrolled. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.4%, which is slightly above the national average for secondary schools.
Academically, St Peter's was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2017, and this rating was confirmed as remaining Good in an ungraded inspection in 2023. The school's leadership and management were also judged to be Good. This represents a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2013, when the school was rated Inadequate overall. In terms of pupil progress, the school's Progress 8 score is 0.12, which is slightly below the local authority average of 0.18 but still positive, indicating that pupils make above-average progress compared to the national baseline. At Key Stage 2, 68% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, which is in line with the national average. The school does not have a sixth form, as it is a middle school, so pupils typically move on to other secondary schools at age 13.
The school offers a wide range of facilities, including a swimming pool, astro turf, theatre, music rooms, and science labs, which support a varied extracurricular programme. Sports on offer include tennis, swimming, rowing, and martial arts, while clubs range from the Duke of Edinburgh's Award to Model United Nations and a newspaper club. St Peter's has a comprehensive SEND provision, supporting pupils with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social and emotional mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, hearing impairment, multi-sensory impairment, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. This makes it a suitable choice for families seeking a middle school with strong pastoral support and a broad range of activities, particularly those who value a Church of England ethos and a school that has shown clear improvement over time.
