I learnt more at St Peter's than before it or after it. You couldn't be anywhere better.
I am a successful Catholic London solicitor and St Peter's had more of an influence on me than anything else in my life Being involved in the theatre and dramatic arts gave me confidence and a belief that I could achieve anything Make the most of all the opportunities provided by St Peter's and strive to be the best you can be in everything St Peter's encouraged me to be a creative individual allowing me to follow my ideas and form a career in the performing arts.
Although times and teaching methods have changed since my time at St Peters, care for each student as a special person, seems to never have changed.
Enjoy and value the experience, you are part of a strong caring ethos and educational excellence St Peter's student (Theatre Director of Shakespeare, Sondheim and Kander and Ebb) Have courage and curiosity – you will make mistakes but do it in the spirit of improving yourself and the world around you and no one will begrudge it St Peter's School, St Catherine's Road, Bournemouth BH6 4AH
