Learning at St Peter's is about motivation and inspiration. Our students learn how to ask questions, to listen, to explore and to challenge. Students are nurtured, their intellect developed, and their curiosity encouraged to stimulate their interest in the world beyond the classroom.
To nurture a love of learning and an independent, proactive approach is always a priority. Students work within a disciplined framework gradually taking more and more responsibility for their learning. Above all, we believe that success in all things is best achieved through enjoyment.

Mr Robert Guinea, Headteacher at St Peter's, said: “University offers this year have been higher than ever and I feel that our students have responded magnificently with the vast majority gaining their preferred places. You hear so much in the media about A levels being easier but I see no evidence for this. The students at St. Peter’s and the staff have worked tirelessly to achieve these excellent results and I am extremely proud of them all.”
There are 1100 students aged 11-18 and Mr. Robert Guinea has been the Headteacher since 2005. Our rapidly growing Sixth Form currently stands at a record 200 students and we have just built a state of the art new sixth form centre that opened to students in September 2010.
St Peter's puts emphasis on a balanced timetable which offers our students the opportunity to learn together in a supportive setting and to experience sport, culture and working with the local community. We firmly believe that this approach not only benefits individual development but is increasingly valuable within the work environment.
We promote Christian values and seek not only to achieve excellence ‘intellectually’ but also ‘spiritually.’ It is our belief that there is much more to school life than the rigour of examinations and we strive to stimulate our students in order that they may become caring, compassionate human beings. We seek in our school to create an inclusive community where everybody is valued and nurtured.
