St Peter's School
Huntingdon, PE29 7DD · Cambridgeshire · secondary school
28th of 34 secondary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 35 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 733 of them, against 2.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 32.8 · 23 | 30% | 0.68 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.16 · 38 | 25% | 0.95 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 39.6 · 19 | 10% | 0.19 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 32.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 39.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.16 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than peers nationally starting from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.8 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2026.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Astronomy, Cookery, Gardening, Archery, Duke of Edinburgh's Award, Combined Cadet Force, CHATBAR, and Young Carers groups. Sports include Sailing, Kayaking, Powerboating, and Paintballing. Year 10 students take a history trip to Belgium. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 1525 pupils in a school with 1585 places, leaving 60 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who start below the national median in attainment? What specific support is available for those aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How accessible are the water sports facilities for all students?
