What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
The St Peters CofE Academy vision of 'every life enriched' is brought to life through the strong pastoral support that pupils receive. Pupils benefit from positive relationships with staff. Pupils know that staff care about them and that they are safe in school. This has resulted in a strong sense of community in the school. Pupils are polite and respectful. The school's high expectations for achievement are reflected in the ambitious curriculum that meets the pupils' aspirations. Pupils have positive attitudes in lessons. Pupils understand the importance of their education and work in calm and orderly lessons. This allows them to learn without distractions. Most pupils meet the school's high behaviour expectations. However, for those pupils that fail to meet these expectations, the school provides individualised support to address these behaviours. Pupils benefit from a comprehensive programme of opportunities that support their personal development. Pupils' engagement in school life is celebrated through activities such as 'Wacadays', the school's reward days. The schools 'student union' ensures that pupil voice is heard. Pupils can demonstrate their leadership through programmes such as young translators. Pupils are well prepared to deal with the challenges and opportunities they may face in the future.
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, checks on what pupils know and understand are not used effectively to spot and address misconceptions. When this happens, pupils develop gaps in their knowledge and do not secure new ideas as quickly as they could. The school should ensure that staff have the expertise to act upon guidance and support to adapt their teaching and enable pupils to achieve well.
- A minority of pupils find it hard to meet the school's revised high expectations for their behaviour. This means that they are more likely to be suspended from school. The school should ensure that there is ongoing support and review for those pupils who find it hardest to meet the school's high expectations for their behaviour such that the number of suspensions falls.
