At Ss Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School assessment takes many forms. Assessment is an integral part of every lesson and used to identify progress and understanding. At the end of every term all children in school are assessed and their level of learning recorded. These levels are analysed by staff and interventions, for individuals or small groups, to support children further are put into place if required.

During the summer term statutory assessments are completed for children in Year 2 and Year 6, phonics testing for children in Year 1, times table test for Year 4 and Early Years Foundation Stage Profile for Reception children. Children in Years 3 and 5 do not have statutory tests in the Summer Term. We do termly assessments in all year groups to measure progress and target teaching.

Catholic School Inspection

Dear Parents and Carers,

Please find below, a copy of our Catholic School Inspection (CSI) report.
Our most recent CSI took place on 26th and 27th September 2024; it was led by the Catholic Schools Inspectorate on behalf of the Right Reverend Stephen Wright, Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle.
We are delighted to share that our inspection report identified that Ss Peter and Paul is a ‘Good’ school with many ‘Outstanding’ features. The report clearly highlights that SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School is a caring community, a ‘true oasis’ where all pupils flourish because they are valued and cared for. The pastoral care provided for pupils is described as exceptional and a real strength of our wonderful school.
We are delighted that the hard work, dedication and support of the whole school community has been recognised and celebrated.
We would like to thank all of our parents and carers for their positive and supportive comments made through the parent questionnaire, emails, phone calls and face to face conversations. Your children continue to be an absolute joy to teach; the inspectors acknowledged that our children are wonderful and their behaviour is exemplary.
I am very proud of them and our whole school community. Thank you again for your continued support.

Mrs Butt
