About St Peter's CofE Primary School Chorley

St Peter's CofE Primary School Chorley sits slightly below the Lancashire local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. The school reports that 56% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 60%. That four-point gap places St Peter's in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 9,227th out of 13,686 schools. Within Chorley itself, the school ranks 38th out of 46 primaries, putting it in the bottom 50% of its own borough. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: reading and maths both hit a 102 average scaled score, while 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading and 67% in maths. Writing lags a little, with 58% at the expected level. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall, with behaviour and attitudes singled out as Outstanding — a notable strength that suggests a calm, orderly environment.
