Check the area around this school
13th of 90 primary schools in Bristol, City of we can score, 102 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 — 7.2/10 against 4,279 of them, against 7.4/10 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 | 81.0 · 89 | 40% | 3.57 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Ss Peter and Paul RC Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending this school, describing it as a place where everyone is “kind and valued for who they are.” Leaders have created a “broad and ambitious curriculum” that supports all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. The school maintains high expectations for behaviour, resulting in a positive environment where disruptive incidents are rare.
Strengths
- Staff and pupils share a “love of reading,” with an effective phonics programme ensuring children gain confidence and receive quick support if they fall behind.
- The mathematics curriculum is “designed and sequenced... well,” helping pupils to “secure and deepen their understanding” through precise vocabulary and explanation.
- Pupils’ personal development is a strength; they talk confidently about equality and show kindness by raising money for charities.
- Staff work well together to support pupils with SEND, with “precise and well thought out” planning enabling most to learn well across the curriculum.
- Governors “hold leaders and staff to account” effectively, asking the right questions about the quality of education.
Areas to improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, such as history, pupils’ knowledge is less secure because leaders have “not made clear enough the precise content they want pupils to know and revisit.” Leaders should identify the specific knowledge and concepts pupils need to learn in all subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders providing up-to-date training and working well with external agencies to help vulnerable pupils.
