About This Independent Guide

Our Editorial Standard and Independence

This website is an independent, data-first guide designed to help parents and the community understand the performance and characteristics of St Peter's Catholic Comprehensive School.

Important Disclaimer: We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by St Peter's Catholic Comprehensive School or the ST PETER'S CATHOLIC VOLUNTARY ACADEMY TRUST. For all official school business, policies, term dates, and direct contact information, you must visit the school's official website at www.st-peters.bournemouth.sch.uk.

Our goal is to provide transparency and context. The Department for Education and Ofsted publish a vast amount of data about state-funded schools in England. However, this data is often spread across multiple government portals and can be difficult to interpret without context. We aggregate these public metrics into a single, accessible guide, applying strict editorial standards to ensure all analysis is grounded entirely in factual, published data. We do not invent statistics, estimate missing values, or publish anecdotal reviews.

Data Sources & Transparency

To maintain trust and accuracy, every statistic quoted on this site is derived from official government datasets. Below is a detailed list of the exact sources used to compile the information for St Peter's Catholic Comprehensive School:

  • Establishment Details: DfE Get Information About Schools (GIAS) bulk establishment extract
  • Exam Performance & Results: DfE Compare School & College Performance — KS4 2024-2025 (Attainment 8) & 2023-2024 (Progress 8)
  • Inspection Judgements: Ofsted 'Management information — state-funded schools — latest inspections' (Nov 2025)
  • Financial Information: DfE Schools Financial Benchmarking / Explore Education Statistics

Data Snapshot Date: The data presented across this site was last retrieved and updated on 2026-07-24. Educational data (particularly exam results and school capacities) is subject to annual updates, so please note this timestamp when reviewing the figures.

Our Data Honesty Policy

We adhere to a strict set of rules when presenting school information:

  • Every figure is copied from an official DfE/Ofsted dataset — none are estimated. Missing values are null, never zero.
  • Progress 8 does not exist for 2024-2025 (cohort had no KS2 baseline); the 2023-2024 value is used and dated.
  • Post-Sept-2024 Ofsted inspections carry no single overall grade — do not invent one.
