St Peter's Eaton Square CofE Primary School

About St Peter's Eaton Square CofE Primary School

St Peter's Eaton Square CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Westminster, a borough with 34 primary schools where it currently sits 9th in the local rankings. That places it just behind the top three peers in the area — Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School, St Mary's Bryanston Square CofE School, and Christ Church Bentinck CofE Primary School — all of which achieved perfect or near-perfect ranking scores. The school is also within 1.1 km of Pimlico Primary, the nearest Outstanding-rated school in the borough. With 161 pupils against a capacity of 210, St Peter's is undersubscribed in terms of total space, but its most recent admissions round for 2025/26 tells a different story: 54 families applied for 22 places, making it oversubscribed by a ratio of 2.45 to one. Eighteen of those applicants listed it as their first preference, and all 18 were offered a place. The school's headteacher is Jane Carrington.

Academically, St Peter's performs well above the Westminster average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 85% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 74%. The school's ranking score of 85 places it in the top 10 of Westminster primaries and in the top 6% nationally. Subject-level results are strong: 92% met expectations in both reading and maths, and 88% in writing. At the higher standard, 27% of pupils achieved the top marks across all three subjects, with 50% reaching that level in reading alone. Average scaled scores were 109 in reading and 108 in maths. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in May 2025 was a significant improvement on its previous rating of Requires Improvement in 2022. The new report judged behaviour and attitudes, and personal development, as Outstanding, while quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management were all rated Good.

The school offers a solid range of facilities including a music room, sensory room, ICT suite, library, gymnasium, chapel and an outdoor playground. Sports provision covers rounders, football, netball, tennis, dance and cricket, while clubs include drama, choir, chess and coding. SEND support is available for a wide range of needs, including dyslexia, speech and language difficulties, autistic spectrum disorder, hearing impairment, and social, emotional and mental health needs. Parent View responses from 62 families between September 2024 and September 2025 were largely positive: 87% would recommend the school, and strong majorities agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, feels safe, and does well. However, 14% of parents disagreed that SEND children receive the support they need, and 14% also disagreed that bullying is dealt with quickly and effectively — though 55% said bullying was not applicable to their child. This is a small, oversubscribed Church of England primary that suits families seeking strong academic outcomes in central London, with a clear upward trajectory in its most recent inspection.
