St Peter at Gowts Primary Church of England School Unlocking potential in all, empowering a community of hope. Welcome to St. Peter at Gowts Church of England Primary School. We are an inclusive, popular and vibrant primary school located to the south of the cathedral city of Lincoln. Our school is aspirational, inspirational and above all happy!
Children and teachers at St. Peter's have high expectations of what everyone can achieve here. We are passionate about excellent teaching and learning and work hard to ensure that every child is learning and thriving. Our exceptional, inspiring and relevant curriculum encourages independent learning skills which prepare the children for life in the 21st century.
Inspired by St. Peter, we ensure our school's curriculum unlocks potential in all learners. As a Church of England school, we strive to achieve excellence within a Christian context, based on the firm foundations of shared Christian values.
Through these shared values, we help our pupils to appreciate and respect our world and its people, as well as developing lively and enquiring minds. Our shared values bind our school community together and provide the rock on which we learn.
