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.

  • Today our St Peter’s Family came together to mark Remembrance Day with respect, reflection and gratitude. 

Our History students represented St Peter’s at Gorton Cemetery, while the whole school observed the two-minute silence at 11am. A special service was also held in our Memorial Garden.

For students who visited the battlefields of France and Belgium earlier this year and took part in the memorial service at the Menin Gate, today’s commemorations were especially meaningful.

We will remember them. Lest We Forget.

  • At St Peter’s, keeping our students safe is always a priority.

As technology and AI continue to develop, we are taking extra care with how we share photographs online.

You may notice fewer close-ups and more photographs taken from a distance or different angles.

We remain committed to celebrating our students’ achievements while protecting their privacy and wellbeing.

Thank you for helping us keep the St Peter’s Family safe.
