St Peters High School

A Roman Catholic Voluntary Aided School

We believe that students achieve their best when school and home work together, and that parents have a right to be as fully informed as possible about all relevant aspects of life at school.

St Peter's High School provides a high quality education within the context of a Christian environment. An understanding of the Roman Catholic faith, in line with the Gospel message, underpins the whole work of the school.

The main aim is to develop the self esteem, dignity and respect of all members of the community by concentrating on each person's infinite worth in the eyes of God.
