About St Peter's Church of England Primary School

St Peter's Church of England Primary School in Southwark is a small, oversubscribed state primary that clearly appeals to local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 23 applications for just 11 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.09. Nine of those applications were first-preference choices, suggesting a solid core of families who actively want their child here. The school is a Church of England foundation with a nursery provision for children from age three, and it currently has 145 pupils against a capacity of 210, so there is room to grow. The headteacher is Casey Penn. In its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in March 2023, the school was judged to remain Good, a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2013 when it was rated Requires Improvement. Leadership and management, as well as overall effectiveness, were both graded Good.
