This grade was given to St Peter's Roman Catholic Voluntary Aided Primary School (its Ofsted page), the school this one replaced when it became an academy. St Peter's Catholic Primary School, Low Fell hasn’t been inspected under its own name yet, so Ofsted’s page for it shows no grade.

Standards maintained
An ungraded inspection is a shorter visit to check that a school is still at the grade it was given at its last full inspection. It doesn’t award a new grade. More about ungraded inspections.
Next inspection: around February 2029
The last inspection was in February 2025. Schools are usually inspected about every four years.
An estimate, not an Ofsted date. Ofsted doesn’t publish its schedule and gives schools about a day’s notice. The law says the next inspection must be by August 2030 at the latest, and Ofsted can visit sooner if it has concerns.
