About St Peter's CofE Primary School

St Peter's CofE Primary School is a state-funded Church of England primary in Shropshire, a local authority with 127 primary schools in total. It ranks 42nd in the county, placing it in the bottom half of Shropshire primaries on its KS2 expected standard measure. The top-performing peers in the area include Stottesdon CofE Primary School, St Lucia's CofE Primary School & Nursery, and Minsterley Primary School, all of which sit higher in the rankings. The school is led by headteacher Sarah Kynaston and has a mixed intake of 431 pupils, which is slightly above its official capacity of 420. Over a fifth of pupils (20.9%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives some indication of the school's demographic context. It offers nursery provision for children from age three and has a Church of England religious character, though it remains a state-funded school open to all local families.
