Check the area around this school
15th of 281 primary schools in Norfolk we can score, 343 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 — 9.0/10 against 3,954 of them, against 8.5/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 29.0 · 98 | 25% | 2.44 |
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 CofE Primary Academy, Easton
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils enjoy a "welcoming environment" and "very happy" atmosphere, characterised by strong relationships and kind behaviour. Leaders have established an "ambitious curriculum" that supports most pupils well, with effective teaching and a strong Christian ethos. However, the early years provision requires improvement, as the curriculum does not yet ensure children are routinely engaged or that their individual needs are fully met.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, are "respectful towards each other and the adults," and benefit from a "very friendly atmosphere."
- Teachers "explain new knowledge pupils need to learn clearly" and quickly identify misunderstandings to provide support.
- The phonics programme is implemented well, allowing pupils to make "good progress with their reading."
- Staff are "knowledgeable in how to provide appropriate support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)."
- There is a "strong sense of community and Christian ethos," with pupils being "respectful and tolerant of other’s beliefs."
Areas to improve
- In Reception, the school must ensure adults "consistently plan a challenging and enjoyable experience for each child" that accounts for varying starting points, particularly in the outside environment.
- Newer subject leaders need support to carry out necessary checks so they are confident in their knowledge of "how well pupils achieve in the curriculum area they lead."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
