St Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School is currently rated as 'requires improvement' in key areas such as the quality of education, personal development, and leadership. Despite some positive relationships between students and staff, and a caring environment, the school has not set high expectations for student achievement in various subjects, leading to some pupils not performing as well as they should. Additionally, the curriculum design is lacking in clarity, and teachers are not receiving the necessary support to deliver the curriculum effectively, contributing to underwhelming academic outcomes overall.
