Children learn quickly in the Early Years Foundation Stage and do especially well with their writing. Pupils in Years 1 to 6 achieve well in reading, writing and mathematics and make especially good progress in reading. Teachers work closely with teaching assistants to provide pupils with work that is interesting and helps them to learn.
Pupils behave well and are keen to learn new things. They help each other with their work and are polite and friendly. Pupils feel safe at school and know how to stay safe because systems for keeping them safe and secure are robust.
Leadership and management, including governance, are speeding u...p pupils' achievement and improving teaching quickly. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is supported well, enabling pupils to be thoughtful and responsible. The headteacher and other leaders know what to do to make the school outstanding.
It is not yet an outstanding school because: Attainment and progress in writing are not as strong as in reading. Pupils have weaknesses in their spelling and handwriting and are given too few opportunities to consolidate and extend writing skills when working in other subjects. Teachers do not consistently ensure that pupils are given hard enough work, especially the most able in mathematics.
Pupils are not always expected to improve their work quickly when they have been given advice through teachers' marking.
Information about this school
St Peter's C of E Primary School is a larger than average-sized primary school. The school has been growing in size since the previous inspection and now has two classes in each year group up to the end of Year 4.
The proportion of pupils for whom the school receives the pupil premium, which is additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and children who are looked after by the local authority, is below average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is broadly average and the proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is above average. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics.
The headteacher joined the school in January 2013. There have been many changes of governors and teachers since the previous inspection, including senior leaders. A private nursery on the school site did not form part of this inspection.
