and thank you for your interest in us

St Peter’s is an exceptional community of extraordinary young people and adults working towards a common purpose.

We are a Catholic educational community who work with parents to prepare their children for adulthood.

Our motto is ‘tu es petrus’ (You are Peter). These words, spoken by Jesus, are followed by ‘and on this rock I will build my Church’. Rocks give foundation and stability, so when we talk of our Rock Values, (Respect, Optimism, Community and Kindness) these are the essence of what we see as essential in the formation of young people as they mature.

We follow a curriculum that is enriching and aspirational. Students of all abilities are taught by highly qualified and dedicated teachers. We are proud of the achievements of our students and seek to send them out into the world as well qualified, confident, well rounded and ambitious young people ready to contribute to the common good.

Our commitment to sport and creative arts is outstanding and our extra curricula offer is exceptional.

Visitors to the school consistently comment on the family atmosphere that runs through the community. This is a culture of which we are extremely proud.
