What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 February 2025

St. Peter's Primary is a school where pupils attend happily. Pupils arrive each day with smiles on their faces and receive a welcoming smile in return from caring adults. Staff place warm and positive relationships with pupils at the heart of all they do. Children settle very quickly into school life when they start in Reception. They quickly learn to trust the adults and each other. Strong relationships help pupils feel safe in school. School values are well embedded and understood. Pupils understand their mission of demonstrating and living out the values of service, humility, forgiveness, koinonia and justice. Adults model this perfectly for them, and pupils follow their lead very well. Staff are determined that all pupils reach their full potential. Pupils achieve well in reading, writing and mathematics because adults support them skilfully and have high expectations. The school identifies pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities without delay. Teachers adapt lessons and resources so that all pupils can access the same high-quality learning. Pupils behave beautifully. They are routinely polite and well mannered. Pupils recognise the value of supporting each other. Older pupils support the younger children intuitively. The school is a calm and purposeful learning environment.

What the school should improve

  • The school's approach to engaging pupils at all points of learning is not yet fully embedded. This means that not all staff are able to assess accurately pupils' learning and address any key gaps. As a result, some pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should continue to ensure that its approaches to ongoing assessment and its commitment to ensuring all pupils engage fully with learning are embedded effectively.
