Check the area around this school
42nd of 82 primary schools in South Gloucestershire we can score, 93 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 4,123 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0/10 among them, against 3.6/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 St Peter's Anglican / Methodist VC Primary
Overview
This ungraded inspection confirms the school remains ‘good’, though evidence suggests a graded inspection might yield a lower judgement. New leaders have introduced a ‘strong vision’ for the curriculum, but its ‘full impact... is yet to be realised’. Recent outcomes indicate ‘further work to do to support pupils to achieve their full potential’.
Strengths
- Pupils are ‘welcoming and kind’, demonstrating distinctive values such as ‘honesty’ and ‘compassion’ in a ‘calm environment’.
- The school places a ‘high priority on meeting the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)’, with staff making ‘suitable adaptions’.
- A ‘structured approach to the teaching of early reading’ ensures those who fall behind are ‘quickly identified and are supported to catch up’.
- Enrichment activities, including visits to the Houses of Parliament and sporting clubs, help pupils ‘develop new skills and talents’.
- Staff ‘appreciate the consideration shown for their workload and well-being’ and value leaders’ ‘responsive approach’.
Areas to improve
- Ensure the curriculum in all subjects is ‘well designed and taught effectively’, as some areas are ‘not fully developed or implemented as intended’.
- Use assessment to inform teaching so that pupils do not have ‘gaps in their knowledge’ or fail to ‘move on when they are ready to do so’.
- Strengthen the reading curriculum for older pupils, which is currently ‘less rigorous’ and does not help them ‘confidently develop their wider reading knowledge and skills’.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
