Welcome to St. Peters CE Primary Academy. We are one of a number of brand new schools to have opened in September 2018. We began life in our custom built facility with three teachers, three teaching assistants and three classrooms. The vision and experience of our small staff made the mammoth undertaking of opening a new school extremely positive.
Indeed, we have already grown to 14 classes and pupil numbers are closing in on the final capacity of the building: 420. For prospective parents, our pupil outcomes and OFSTED report are well worth a read. We are proud of them all.
The best indicator of our success, however, is the happy and settled children who are already engaging well with the broad and challenging curriculum at St. Peters. We feel extremely humble that parents have displayed such trust in the St Peter's Team and would like to thank them for believing in our vision for the school.
With hard work and continued support from all stakeholders, we will see a school in which children love learning and thrive academically by developing a rich tapestry of core skills and competencies.
