Stanley St Peters Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Wakefield, WF3 4HS · Wakefield · primary school
12th of 98 primary schools in Wakefield we can score, 113 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 — 9.6/10 against 2,452 of them, against 8.9/10 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 | 87.0 · 96 | 40% | 3.82 |
| Ofsted | 92 | 35% | 3.21 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 87.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 298 pupils against a capacity of 312, leaving 14 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 14 places remaining, how does the school manage waitlists if a child is not offered a spot? Since the inspection was recent, what specific improvements have been made since the March 2026 visit? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects?
