About Stanground St Johns CofE Primary School

Stanground St Johns CofE Primary School sits near the bottom of the league table for Peterborough primary schools, ranking 47th out of 53 in the local authority. Its headline KS2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 41%, well below the local authority average of 59%. That gap of 18 percentage points is significant and places the school in the bottom 50% nationally. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 62% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and 59% in writing, but maths was weaker at 52%. Only 3% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, and just 10% did so in maths. For context, the nearest outstanding school is St John Henry Newman Catholic VA Primary School, 3.7 kilometres away, which suggests that families prioritising top academic outcomes may look elsewhere within the authority.
