About schools near Peterborough

Here are the 60 nearest schools to Peterborough, ordered by how far each one sits from the centre. The closest is West Town Primary Academy, less than a mile away in a straight line. Some sit under a neighbouring town or local authority, because distance does not follow administrative boundaries.

Ofsted inspects the schools on this page. Follow any school for its inspection history and, where results have been published, its exam performance. Distances are measured in a straight line from the centre of Peterborough, so a school that is close by road may fall a little further down this list; to see only the schools listed under Peterborough itself, open its schools page.
