About St Peter's Church of England Primary Academy, West Hanningfield
St Peter's Church of England Primary Academy, West Hanningfield, sits in a quiet village setting in the Chelmsford borough, and its headline metrics offer a mixed picture against the Essex local authority average for primary schools. The most recent data shows the LA average Key Stage 2 score sits at 62, but the school's own KS2 results are not provided in the available data, making a direct comparison impossible on that front. However, the school's Ofsted rating tells a clearer story: it holds a Good rating, which it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. This places it in the majority of Essex primaries, given that only 33 out of 444 schools in the LA have achieved an Outstanding rating. The school's leadership and management, as well as its overall effectiveness, were both graded as Good in the 2013 graded inspection, and an ungraded visit in January 2023 confirmed that the school continues to meet this standard.
