About Winyates Primary School, Spirit Federation

Winyates Primary School, part of the Spirit Federation in Peterborough, has been rated Outstanding across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2018. The school achieved the top grade of 1 for quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and early years provision. But the real story is in the exam results. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 94% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is a full 35 percentage points above the Peterborough local authority average of 59%, and it places Winyates second out of 53 primary schools in the area. Nationally, the school ranks in the top 1% of all primary schools for this metric. Average scaled scores of 110 in both reading and maths further underline the strength of core academic teaching.
