Located in Bury, Bury, St Peter's Church of England Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. The school educates roughly 243 pupils aged 3 to 11. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Good' when it was last inspected in January 2026. 64% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 6.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 44% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 9% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
