Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School
Peterborough, PE3 9XD · Peterborough · primary school
38th 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 the 4,269 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0/10 among them, against 3.1/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 57.0% 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. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0 out of 10 among them, against 3.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join netball, football, and multi-sports clubs, or learn piano, violin, and guitar. Year 4 pupils visit Flag Fen for a Mayor's Day Out trip. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 214 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 4. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity when new families apply? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? How does the absence of an after-school club affect families who need care beyond the school day?
