Message from the Head

Welcome to our school website which I hope will give you a flavour of the thriving and harmonious community that exists here at St Peter’s.

St Peter’s is firmly established as one of Manchester’s most successful high schools, founded on Gospel Values where pupils are encouraged to live their faith and to lead responsible lives. We are an innovative, inclusive community where diversity is welcomed and respected, and we all shine together.

Since the school opened in 1999, we have been dedicated to helping pupils achieve their full potential and we are very proud of our success and pupils’ achievements. From the moment they join the school in Year 7 pupils become part of the ‘St Peter’s Family’, where ambitions, knowledge, skills, and personal realisation is nurtured and developed. Every pupil is encouraged to aim high and achieve their very best. We foster the belief that everyone has the potential to achieve great things.

OFSTED 2026: EXCEPTIONAL

We are delighted to share our exceptional Ofsted report!
St Peter’s has been judged ‘EXCEPTIONAL’ in four areas and 2 ‘STRONG’ judgements, with safeguarding standards met. Ofsted reserves ‘Exceptional’ for practice among the very best nationally, and national data shows that only 3% of schools inspected under the new framework received even one Exceptional judgement.
