About St Peter's Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior, Infant and Early Years School

St Peter's Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior, Infant and Early Years School in Kirklees holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The 2023 inspection rated every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as Good, with no outstanding or requires improvement ratings. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: 90% of pupils achieved this benchmark, placing the school third out of 94 primary schools in Kirklees and in the top five per cent nationally. This is a significant outperformance against the local authority average of 60%, and it sits just behind the top-ranked school in the area. The school's ranking score of 90 puts it firmly among the strongest performers in the region, with only two other Kirklees primaries scoring higher.
