What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 November 2022
Pupils are proud to be members of the St Peter's community. They are incredibly kind and respectful towards one another. They understand what is special about their school and work hard to be 'the person God created them to be'. Pupils behave exceptionally well in lessons and when moving around the school. This is because leaders have high expectations of them. Lessons are not disrupted by poor behaviour. Pupils are not worried about bullying because if it does happen it is dealt with, so it stops. Pupils feel happy and safe here. Everyone is celebrated. This includes those of other faiths and those in all different kinds of families. Pupils explain that what is important about a family is that you are loved, safe and respected. Leaders provide opportunities for pupils to take on positions of leadership. For example, 'Mini Mid Days' are Year 6 pupils who support younger children during lunchtime. Pupils are responsible for running the school tuck-shop. They look after the stock and finance. Pupils develop an understanding of how they can support the local community. They take pride in making a difference to the lives of others.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the expectations of what pupils can achieve limit some pupils. There is not the same expectation for all pupils to learn all the knowledge that leaders have identified as being important. Leaders should make sure that, in all subjects, they set high expectations for what all pupils can achieve.
