School Performance & Ofsted

We are very proud of how well we educate the children at St. Peter's, not just to pass a test at the end of Y6, but in the values needed for life long learning, and a rounded, well-balanced education for all children with all their many abilities, gifts, talents and interests. Many of these things are not measured externally, but to us are of equal importance and value.

That said, we are also proud of how well our children do in their end of Year 6 SATs.

 Year 1

 The Phonics Screening Check is a check of your child’s phonics knowledge. It helps to confirm whether your child has made the expected progress. The phonics check is a mix of ‘real’ words and ‘non-words’.  Children cannot read the non-words by using their memory or vocabulary; they must use their decoding/phonics skills.
