About St Peter's CofE Academy

Of the 65 parents who responded to Ofsted's Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025, 77% said they would recommend St Peter's CofE Academy. That's a solid majority, though it leaves nearly a quarter who wouldn't. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 42 applications for just 20 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.1 to one. All 20 first-preference families were offered a spot, but that still means more than half of applicants overall missed out. Parents who responded were broadly positive about their children's happiness and safety, with 92% agreeing or strongly agreeing that their child is happy and 87% that they feel safe. However, the picture is more mixed on behaviour and leadership: only 74% agreed that the school ensures good behaviour, and 68% felt concerns were dealt with properly. The school's Church of England character and headteacher Gordon Nunn lead a primary of 196 pupils, just under its capacity of 210.
