Check the area around this school
24th 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 — 8.7/10 against 3,869 of them, against 8.9/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
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 Saint Peter's Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Academy
Overview
Saint Peter’s Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school, providing an inclusive and nurturing environment where pupils feel safe and proud. The report highlights strong relationships, effective teaching, and a curriculum that is largely well-ordered, allowing pupils to build knowledge logically and achieve well.
Strengths
- Pupils describe the school as a "family" and appreciate the "nurturing environment," with staff greeting them warmly each morning.
- The curriculum is "ordered logically," enabling pupils to build on prior knowledge, supported by resources like "key learning sheets" and regular revisits through "flashback 4s".
- Teachers "make learning fun" and challenge pupils to "think hard," ensuring help is available so "everybody can learn."
- Early reading is prioritised, with children progressing from initial sounds to becoming "fluent readers" who enjoy library visits and reading buddies.
- Staff quickly identify pupils needing extra support, including those with SEND or learning English, and work closely with parents to set targets.
Areas to improve
- In a "small minority of foundation subjects," the curriculum is not as well developed, meaning some pupils do not develop knowledge and skills to the same level as in other subjects.
- The school must ensure that "knowledge, skills and endpoints are precise in all subjects" to support pupils to "know more and do more."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
