About St Peter's CofE Primary School

St Peter's CofE Primary School in Hyndburn sits well below the Lancashire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with just 43% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 60%. That 17-point gap places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the authority, ranked 355th out of 480. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: writing is the strongest area, with 78% of pupils meeting the expected standard, while maths and reading both sit at 57%. At the higher standard, the numbers are much thinner — only 4% of pupils achieved greater depth in maths and writing, and 17% in reading. The school's ranking in Hyndburn puts it 23rd out of 31 schools, and nationally it falls in the bottom 50% of primaries. For a school with a Church of England character and a headteacher in Emma Moss, these results suggest significant challenges in lifting core academic attainment.
