What People Say
We are delighted that following their recent visit (December 2024), Ofsted 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
This was the first return visit since our inspection in July 2019 when the school was judged to be GOOD in all areas. The report celebrates the tireless efforts of our entire school community to provide a high-quality education for every pupil. Among the many strengths, here are some words of recognition that make us particularly proud:
- “The school has high expectations for all pupils, and these are largely realised.”
- “The school has designed a broad and ambitious curriculum.”
- “Reading is at the heart of the curriculum... Pupils say they love reading and speak enthusiastically about their favourite books and authors.”
- “In lessons, teachers skilfully adapt the curriculum to assist pupils’ learning where needed.”
- “Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) access the same ambitious curriculum as their peers and achieve well.”
- “Pupils celebrate each other’s achievements and understand each other’s different strengths and needs.”
- “The provision for pupils’ broader development is a strength. The school offers a multitude of opportunities to develop skills and talents beyond the curriculum.”

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.
Parent Comment July 2022
This strengthens the recognition received following our last Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) in September 2017 when St Peter's CE Primary School was also judged to be a GOOD school.
High quality pastoral care and support nurtures the development of the whole child, enabling all pupils to feel personally valued, happy and secure.
