About Stanley St Peters Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

Stanley St Peters Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School in Wakefield has a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2017.
