About St Peter's CofE Primary School

St Peter's CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Tameside, a borough where only one primary school currently holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school sits 27th out of 57 primaries in the local authority rankings, placing it just inside the top half of its peers. Among the strongest performers in the same LA are Broadbottom Church of England Primary School, St Raphael's Catholic Primary School, and St John's CofE Primary School in Dukinfield, all of which score higher on the ranking metric used.
