St Peter's Church of England Academy
Wellingborough, NN9 6PA · North Northamptonshire · primary school
75th of 91 primary schools in North Northamptonshire we can score, 111 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 — 1.5/10 against 2,661 of them, against 1.8/10 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 | 46.0 · 14 | 40% | 0.55 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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, 46.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2024. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Shine Club, and the school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 219 pupils in a capacity of 240, leaving 21 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the Shine Club support pupils who are below the expected standard in literacy? What specific strategies are used to help the 2.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard continue to progress? How does the school manage the transition for children joining the 21 available places?
