The Canon Peter Hall CofE Primary School

About The Canon Peter Hall CofE Primary School

The Canon Peter Hall CofE Primary School sits slightly below the North East Lincolnshire average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 61% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 64%. That places the school 31st out of 42 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom half of the LA table. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single ranking suggests. Reading scores are a relative strength: the average scaled score of 105 is solid, and 71% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, with a quarter reaching the higher standard. Maths is a touch weaker, with an average score of 103 and 68% at the expected level, while writing matches reading at 71% expected. Only 4% of pupils hit the higher standard across all three subjects, which is low, but the school serves a community where over half of pupils (51.7%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average.

In its most recent graded inspection in 2017, the school was rated Good overall, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good. Leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all scored 2 (Good) in the 2017 inspection, and the 2023 visit found no reason to change that judgement. The school has held a Good rating across both its inspections, with the earliest recorded inspection in 2011 also awarding Good. Academically, the school’s Progress 8 scores are not available, so it is hard to say how much value it adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the KS2 results suggest that while attainment is below the LA average, it is not dramatically so. The school ranks 788th out of 1,506 primaries in Yorkshire and the Humber, and 7,426th nationally out of 13,686, placing it in the bottom half of the national distribution but not at the very bottom.

The school offers a broad range of facilities for a primary of its size, including a forest school, music rooms, art studios, an ICT suite, a gymnasium, sports hall, playing fields, and a chapel. Sports provision covers football, rounders, dance, cricket, gymnastics and netball, and there are clubs for book, chess and eco activities. SEND support is in place for specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, and speech, language and communication needs. The school was oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry, with 19 applications for 13 places and all 13 first-preference offers going to families who put it first. With nursery provision on site and a Church of England character, this is a community-focused primary that may particularly suit families who value a supportive, inclusive environment and are comfortable with results that are slightly below the local average but consistent with the school’s demographic context.
