Check the area around this school
115th of 215 primary schools in Leicestershire we can score, 231 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 — 4.1/10 against 2,624 of them, against 3.8/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Christ Church & Saint Peter's Cofe Primary School
Overview
Christ Church & Saint Peter’s CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "warm and friendly" environment where the motto ‘We aim high, caring for everyone’ is evident. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils, creating a "highly inclusive" setting where staff ensure every child, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, receives the support needed to flourish.
Strengths
- The school provides a "good quality of education" with an "ambitious, well-sequenced curriculum" designed to make pupils "subject experts".
- Early reading is taught well, with staff skilled in delivering the phonics programme and swiftly helping pupils who fall behind to catch up.
- Provision for pupils with SEND is "strong", featuring a specialist ‘nest’ provision and adapted teaching so all pupils can access the curriculum.
- Staff morale is high, with leaders prioritising well-being and workload, while parents describe the school as having a "strong and supportive ethos".

Areas to improve
