St Peter's Primary School

About St Peter's Primary School

St Peter's Primary School in Hammersmith and Fulham holds an Ofsted rating of Outstanding, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school was last inspected in 2023, when inspectors confirmed it remains Outstanding, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged to be Outstanding. This is a significant achievement, placing St Peter's among just 14 outstanding primary schools out of 37 in the local authority. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 93 per cent. That figure puts the school second in the borough, behind only John Betts Primary School, and in the top five per cent nationally. It is a strong academic story, especially given the school’s relatively small size of 209 pupils.

The school’s KS2 results are consistently strong across individual subjects. In maths, every single pupil reached the expected standard, and 59 per cent achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 110. Reading saw 93 per cent at expected and 48 per cent at higher, with an average score of 109. Writing was similarly robust, with 96 per cent at expected and 52 per cent at higher. These outcomes comfortably exceed the local authority average of 76 per cent for expected standards in reading, writing and maths combined. The school does not publish progress scores for reading, writing or maths, so it is not possible to compare pupil progress against national benchmarks, but the attainment data alone places St Peter’s in the top two per cent of primary schools in London and the top one per cent nationally. For a Church of England primary with a below-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (12.4 per cent), these results reflect a focused academic environment.

St Peter’s is a popular school, and the admissions data for 2025/26 tells a clear story: 170 applications for just 30 places, with 60 first-preference applications and only 29 offers made to first-preference families. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 5.67, meaning competition is fierce. The school offers a range of facilities including a library, playing fields, a sensory room, a sports hall and a chapel. Sports on offer include tennis, gymnastics, rounders, dance, football and netball, and there is a good selection of clubs from drama and science club to art, book, film and choir. The school has identified SEND provisions covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. This is a school that suits families who prioritise strong academic outcomes and are prepared for a competitive admissions process, particularly those within the Church of England catchment.
