Both of my children attend St. Peters - EXCELLENT! Dawn B

Founded in March 1946, St. Peter's School has, over the years, built up a reputation for excellence. It is a lively, friendly school with a strong family atmosphere, where children are encouraged to develop to the full their individual strengths and talents.
The happy family atmosphere is reinforced by the fact that many of our current pupils are children, grandchildren, nephews or nieces of former pupils. This sense of community and continuity is a source of great pride.

Our own Web Site (link below) can give no more than a flavour of the school. To appreciate more fully what we have to offer do please arrange to visit us. You will be assured of a warm welcome.
