About William Law CofE Primary School

William Law CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent inspection in 2023. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score, where just 36% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school well below the Peterborough local authority average of 59% and ranks it 52nd out of 53 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom tier locally. Nationally, it sits in the 95th percentile, meaning only about 5% of schools perform worse on this measure. The picture is slightly more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths, and 60% in reading, but writing was a tougher hurdle at 45%. Higher-attaining pupils are also thin on the ground, with just 19% reaching the higher standard in reading and 18% in maths.
