Check the area around this school
34th of 43 primary schools in Redcar and Cleveland we can score, 44 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 — 3.6/10 against 1,487 of them, against 3.1/10 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| 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 Church of England Primary School
Overview
Pupils describe the school as “caring and nurturing,” where they feel “very happy and safe.” Leaders have established a “well-designed curriculum” that supports strong academic and social achievement, underpinned by “exemplary” behaviour and a positive learning environment.
Strengths
- Pupils’ behaviour is “exemplary,” with staff providing clear guidance that ensures bullying incidents are “extremely rare.”
- Teaching in reading and mathematics is strong, helping pupils “grasp the basics well” and decode unfamiliar words confidently.
- The school is “very inclusive,” with high expertise in supporting pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to achieve well.
- Personal, social and health education (PSHE) is “very well planned,” fostering strong citizenship qualities and empathy.
- Staff morale is high, and parents are “overwhelmingly positive” about the school’s warm, welcoming approach and community links.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must complete revisions to planning in some foundation subjects, such as music and computing, to ensure the “sequencing of planning” is consistently clear.
- Assessment approaches in some foundation subjects require development to help staff accurately identify the knowledge pupils are gaining.
- Leaders should embed strategies to improve pupils’ letter formation and handwriting, which has dipped in quality.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders promptly identifying vulnerable pupils and working with agencies to secure necessary help.
