 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.

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.

  • European Day of Languages Week in the Languages Department 🌍

What a brilliant week celebrating languages and cultures! Students and staff took part in a languages scavenger hunt, tried a Welsh taster session, and played a range of fun language games. The Beat the Teacher Language Nut competition brought plenty of friendly rivalry too. We also enjoyed some delicious tastings, with cheese and sangria for our Spanish and French fans, and crêpes to round things off.

A big thank you to everyone who joined in. Here’s to celebrating linguistic diversity all year round! 🇪🇸🇫🇷
  • Year 9 historians had a fantastic opportunity to attend @officialuom Black History Month event, “History Reimagined for a Changing World,” featuring Professor David Olusoga. Pupils heard from leading historians about the importance of rethinking and broadening our understanding of the past, before exploring the University of Manchester Museum and discovering more about African history through its collections and displays. It was an inspiring day that gave students the chance to experience history beyond the classroom and engage with new perspectives on the past.

Year 9 historians had a fantastic opportunity to attend @officialuom Black History Month event, “History Reimagined for a Changing World,” featuring Professor David Olusoga. Pupils heard from leading historians about the importance of rethinking and broadening our understanding of the past, before exploring the University of Manchester Museum and discovering more about African history through its collections and displays. It was an inspiring day that gave students the chance to experience history beyond the classroom and engage with new perspectives on the past.
