What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
The school's values of faith, hope, love and trust inspire staff and pupils to the highest standards of behaviour. The school's curriculum is built around courage, oracy and enquiry. These aspects influence pupils to be ambitious for their own academic success. Leaders have created a culture that includes everyone. Pupils flourish academically and socially. St Peter's is a superb school and a happy place to learn. Leaders have established an exceptional curriculum for pupils to study. The school places no limits on pupils' development. Pupils acquire deep knowledge of the subjects that they study. The school enhances this curriculum by providing carefully planned visits. These visits inspire pupils' curiosity and deepen their knowledge. For example, pupils hone their geographical understanding by exploring the way in which a local coal mine is being developed for new industry. They find this learning irresistible. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning are exemplary, whether adults are present or not. Pupils know that their learning matters. They attend to this learning with care. Pupils are proud of their achievements and enthusiastically share their learning. This culture of success results in pupils who are keen to learn and attend school regularly.
