St Peter's CofE Primary School has effectively maintained the high standards identified in its previous inspection, reflecting its strong commitment to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for all pupils. The school excels in fostering positive relationships among students and creating a calming atmosphere conducive to learning, where pupils feel valued and safe. A broad and ambitious curriculum allows children to thrive, with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils accessing the same quality education as their peers. However, the school is still developing its assessment processes in some foundation subjects, which presents an opportunity for further growth.
