About St Peter's Methodist Primary School

St Peter's Methodist Primary School in Canterbury holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it maintained in its most recent ungraded inspection in November 2024, where inspectors confirmed that standards were being upheld. The school's most informative exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 60% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just below the Kent local authority average of 63%, placing the school 14th out of 30 primary schools in the Canterbury district. In the wider South East region, it ranks in the 54th percentile among over 2,000 schools, and nationally it sits in the 56th percentile. While the combined expected standard figure is the headline, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: 77% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, compared with 70% in reading and 67% in maths.
