What People Say
We are delighted that our June 2026 Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) recognised that, “St Peter's Church of England Primary School is living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish.”
Guided by the Christian vision, pupils and adults are considerate and respectful of one another. This creates a nurturing culture where they are sensitive to the different needs that people may have.
SIAMS Report June 2026
This strengthens the recognition received following our last Ofsted visit (December 2024), which confirmed that St Peter’s has maintained the standards identified at the previous inspection.
This small, rural school provides a caring and supportive environment where all pupils can flourish.
Ofsted Report December 2024
Both reports recognised the tireless work that goes on across the whole school to provide all our pupils with a good standard of education and there were many key strengths. Some areas that make us very proud include:
- “The school maintains a continual drive to enable pupils to succeed academically and personally.” SIAMS
- “The school has designed a broad and ambitious curriculum.” Ofsted
- "Wider talents and skills are reflected in the planned curriculum. This is anchored through the intent within the vision to nurture a ‘successful future’ for pupils." SIAMS
- “Reading is at the heart of the curriculum... Pupils say they love reading and speak enthusiastically about their favourite books and authors.” Ofsted
- "Pupils behave well and show respect during lessons and informal times, such as breaktime. There is a strong culture of acceptance where difference is celebrated and valued. The frequently referenced vision makes a positive impact on people’s behaviour and attitudes towards others and their work." SIAMS
- “In lessons, teachers skilfully adapt the curriculum to assist pupils’ learning where needed.” Ofsted
- “Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) access the same ambitious curriculum as their peers and achieve well.” Ofsted
- “Pupils demonstrate an eagerness to learn which is reflected in the calm atmosphere throughout the school." SIAMS
- “Pupils understand what responsibility is and have a deep sense of how they can actively contribute positively in school.”

We are delighted that the results from Parent View support those shared in our annual questionnaire to parents and carers. The responses received were once again overwhelmingly positive.
It is clearly felt by families that:
- Children are happy and feel safe at St. Peter's (97% agreed or strongly agreed);
- The school makes sure its pupils are well behaved (97%);
- There is a good range of subjects available (i.e. the curriculum has not been narrowed), children can take part in clubs and activities, and the school supports their wider personal development (all 97%);
- The school has high expectations for it's pupils (97%); and
- 94% would recommend St. Peter’s to another parent.
St. Peter’s is an EXCELLENT school that nurtures, motivates and supports my (child's) development in every aspect.
