About St Peter's CofE Primary School

St Peter's CofE Primary School in St. Helens stands out sharply against the local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 79% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a St. Helens average of 61%. That 18-point gap places the school comfortably in the top 25% of primaries nationally, and sixth out of 47 schools in the borough. The school also outperforms the LA on individual subjects: 91% hit the expected standard in maths, 88% in reading and 88% in writing. At the higher standard, 9% achieved across all three subjects, with 32% reaching that level in reading alone. These figures are backed by an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, awarded in January 2025 across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. It’s a clean sweep that matches the school’s previous Outstanding grade from 2013.
