About St Peter's Church of England Primary School

St Peter's Church of England Primary School in Tonbridge and Malling holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in September 2024, with every graded category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all judged Good. The school's previous inspection in 2015 also rated it Good overall, so it has maintained a consistent standard.
