What This School Does Well
This is a welcoming, inclusive school where pupils genuinely feel part of a 'school family'. The school has worked hard to improve after years of leadership challenges and is now making substantial progress. Pupils are encouraged to value education, behave well, and develop into respectful, responsible community members through a range of clubs and enrichment activities.
Key Strengths
- Strong inclusive culture with high behaviour expectations and a calm, purposeful atmosphere
- Successful engagement in reading through inspiring texts and library provision
- Well-considered and engaging new curriculum that sets out key knowledge for pupils to build over time
- Effective identification and support systems for pupils with special educational needs
- Significant improvements in pupil attendance through rigorous monitoring and parent engagement
Areas for Improvement
- Inconsistent teaching of phonics and reading, with some staff lacking expertise to support pupils who have fallen behind
- New curriculum not consistently adapted to address gaps in pupils' prior knowledge, hindering learning of new content
- Checks on pupil learning lack rigour, meaning misconceptions are sometimes missed and persist
- Inconsistent adaptations to meet the needs of pupils with SEND across different subjects
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective.
Extracurricular Activities

Belgrave St Peter's CofE Primary School is a very inclusive and welcoming school with a strong sense of community, guided by values of love, faith and hope. However, evidence suggests aspects of the school's work may not be as strong as at the previous inspection, with pupils' achievements not yet consistently reaching expected standards.
