St Peter's Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior, Infant and Early Years School
Batley, WF17 9HN · Kirklees · primary school
9th of 99 primary schools in Kirklees we can score, 144 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 — 8.7/10 against 2,429 of them, against 7.6/10 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 | 83.0 · 92 | 40% | 3.67 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Golf and Archery Club, Dance and Movement Club, Multi-sports Lunch Club, Liam Cooper Academy clubs, and sports leadership training. They also participate in football, dancing, cheerleading, active lunchtimes, and the choir. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 187 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, leaving 23 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 23 places remaining, how quickly do these fill up for new starters? Since there is no breakfast club, what support is available for children arriving before the school day begins? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects?
