Check the area around this school
35th of 55 primary schools in Peterborough we can score, 61 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 — 3.4/10 against 3,328 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 | 62% | 2.85 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 38% | 0.92 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Worth asking on a visit
How does the school manage class sizes when the roll exceeds the official capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who are working towards the expected standard? How does the school ensure that the small number of pupils reaching the higher standard continue to be challenged?

The school delivers an "ambitious curriculum" that inspires learners, with "expertly trained staff" in the early years establishing strong foundations.

Areas to improve
