St Peter's Church of England Primary School
Bury, BL9 9PW · Bury · primary school
41st of 55 primary schools in Bury we can score, 64 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.6/10 against 2,146 of them, against 5.4/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 7 | 35% | 0.23 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join clubs for aerial skills, boxing, skateboarding, dance, fencing, table hockey, table tennis, and snooker. The school also provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 244 pupils in a school with 258 places, leaving 14 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for children moving from the breakfast club into the main school day?
