It is a pleasure to welcome you to our website! St. Peter's is a small, delightful, village primary school with GOOD Ofsted (October 2024) and SIAMs (October 2019) ratings. We are rather unusual. In an age when many schools are increasing in size, and becoming more corporate and business focused as they join academy chains, St Peter's remains a very traditional primary school.
Our school site cannot be developed and hence we will remain a traditional, one form entry school. With a current total of just 202 pupils, we are a small family, where everyone knows everyone else and we can focus on the individual needs of the pupil.
The goal of everyone at St Peter's is to provide our children with a wide and fully rounded education, which enables them to develop not only academically, but also socially, emotionally, morally and spiritually.
