Wittering Primary School
Peterborough, PE8 6AF · Peterborough · primary school
36th of 55 primary schools in Peterborough we can score, 60 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.4/10 against 3,274 of them, against 3.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 62% | 2.40 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 38% | 1.36 |
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, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (3.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Chill Club or Wellbeing Club, participate in Anna's Hope Fun Run, and visit Ferry Meadows or Burghley House. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. With 258 pupils in a school with 420 places, there are 162 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard? What specific activities take place during the Wellbeing Club? How do the smaller class sizes affect individual attention for each child?
