St Peter's Primary School

Overview

The inspection was conducted during industrial action, meaning teaching staff did not cooperate with the process. Consequently, the ETI states it is “unable to assure the quality of education” and could not evaluate key areas such as outcomes for learners, quality of provision, or leadership effectiveness.

Strengths

• Children met with inspectors engaged “enthusiastically, respectfully and confidently” in discussions about their learning.
• Year 7 pupils articulated “maturely” how audience influences reading and used mathematical language “competently” to solve problems.
• Children spoke positively about curriculum activities, including competitions and supporting younger peers.
• Governors are “well informed” about development priorities and the ETI expressed “confidence” in the aspects of governance evaluated.

Areas to improve

• The report does not list specific areas for improvement; instead, it notes the ETI was “unable to evaluate fully” learning outcomes, curriculum quality, and safeguarding arrangements due to staff non-cooperation.

Safeguarding

The school provided evidence that safeguarding arrangements “reflect broadly the guidance from the Department of Education,” and children report they feel safe, though the ETI could not fully evaluate the outworking of these arrangements.
