What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 March 2025
This inclusive school fosters a strong sense of community. Pupils come from diverse backgrounds, representing a range of nationalities and speaking over 21 languages. Staff provide excellent support for those pupils who speak English as an additional language. Every pupil, regardless of background, is welcome at St Peter's. Pupils enjoy school. They feel safe here. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement and behaviour. Pupils achieve well across all areas of the curriculum. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. They are supportive and respectful of each other. For example, in classrooms, pupils benefit from the many opportunities they have to discuss their learning with each other. In the Reception Year, children interact positively with each other and the staff around them. Sport and music play a key role in school life. Many pupils learn to play musical instruments or represent the school at singing events. Pupils benefit from a range of sporting extra-curricular clubs and represent the school at festivals and competitions. These opportunities help to develop pupils' talents and interests.
What the school should improve
- Some staff require further training in order to understand how to support pupils with different SEND needs. Some staff do not select the right activities to best support some pupils with SEND, which limits the progress that these pupils make. The school should ensure that all staff are fully trained to support all pupils with SEND effectively.
