About St Peter's Crosskeys CofE Academy

Every single parent who responded to the Parent View survey for St Peter's Crosskeys CofE Academy would recommend the school, which is a remarkably strong signal. The survey, based on 39 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows near-universal satisfaction across the board. For instance, 90% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 87% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. The school is also clearly popular with local families: for the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 38 applications for just 23 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1. 65, meaning nearly two families applied for every available spot. All 23 first-preference applicants were offered a place, so while it is oversubscribed, being a first-choice applicant clearly puts you in a strong position. The school is a Church of England primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 171 pupils against a capacity of 210, so there is some room for growth.
