Nova Primary Academy
Peterborough, PE3 9XJ · Peterborough · primary school
20th of 55 primary schools in Peterborough we can score, 60 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.5/10 against 1,561 of them, against 5.2/10 nationally. 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 62% | 4.02 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend a STEM Club and a Year 5 Camping & Adventure Experience. The school has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 361 pupils in a school with 420 places, leaving 59 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading or maths? What options exist for parents who need care before or after school hours? How does the STEM Club run during the term?
