About St Peter's Church of England Primary School

St Peter's Church of England Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary in Devon, serving children aged 3 to 11. Within the local authority, it sits in the middle of the pack: ranked 169th out of 309 same-type schools, placing it just above the median. Its East Devon ranking is more modest, coming in 30th out of 44 schools in that specific borough. The top-performing peers in the area include Stockland Church of England Primary Academy and Upottery Primary School, both with perfect ranking scores, and Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School close behind. St Peter's is a Church of England school, led by headteacher Steve Hitchcock, and it operates slightly over its official capacity of 300, with 311 pupils on roll. Just over 17% of its students are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives some indication of the school's intake relative to the local demographic.
