Check the area around this school
58th of 71 primary schools in Leicester we can score, 82 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.1/10 against 1,402 of them, against 1.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 45.0 · 13 | 40% | 0.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Belgrave St Peter's CofE Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 45.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 3.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.9 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025.

What Ofsted said about Belgrave St Peter's CofE Primary School
Overview
This ungraded inspection found that aspects of the school’s work “may not be as strong as at the time of the previous inspection,” triggering a future graded inspection. Despite this, the school is described as “very inclusive and welcoming” with a “strong sense of camaraderie,” and leaders are making “substantial improvements” following past leadership turbulence.
Strengths
- The school fosters a “calm, with a purposeful atmosphere” where pupils demonstrate high expectations for behaviour and resolve disagreements respectfully.
- Pupils benefit from “a range of wider opportunities,” including forest school, cycling proficiency, and clubs in sports, art, and drama.
- Reading is a priority, with pupils engaging successfully through “inspiring texts” and activities like ‘stay and read’ sessions.
- Attendance has “increased significantly” due to rigorous monitoring and quick collaboration with parents.
- Personal development is “considered well,” with pupils supported to become “respectful, responsible and giving members of their community.”
Areas to improve
- Staff lack sufficient expertise in teaching phonics and reading, meaning some pupils are “not catching up... as well as they should.”
- The new curriculum is not yet fully embedded, leading to gaps in prerequisite knowledge that hinder pupils’ ability to “integrate new learning.”
- Checks on pupils’ learning “lack consistency and rigour,” allowing misconceptions to persist, and adaptations for pupils with SEND are inconsistent.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
