About St Peter's CofE Aided Junior School

St Peter's CofE Aided Junior School in Fenland is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and it currently operates very close to full capacity with 231 pupils against a school capacity of 240. The most striking feature of its intake is the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals: 43. 7 per cent. That is significantly higher than the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23 or 24 per cent, and it places the school in a context where a large majority of its families face economic disadvantage. Despite this, the school is not oversubscribed in a way that suggests fierce competition for places; the admission information does not indicate a formal oversubscription criterion or waiting list, so it is likely that local families who want a place can get one. The school is a Church of England aided school, meaning it has a religious character and some control over its admissions, but the data does not specify a faith-based priority for entry.
