What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 May 2024

St Peter's provides exceptional education, care and guidance from the time pupils start at the school to the end of the sixth form for the many who stay on. Pupils are very happy at the school, which lives out its stated values of 'love, service, reflection, justice and courage'. Staff are caring and committed. They have very high ambitions for all pupils' academic success. These are evident in day-to-day lessons and reflected in very high achievement in examinations. Behaviour and attitudes to learning are very positive among pupils. They attend very well, arrive on time to lessons and are ready to learn, so teachers can get on with their teaching. Teachers are passionate and expert in their subjects. Sixth-form students are a strength of the school. Much is expected of them and the students rise to the challenge, working hard and setting an example for others. The school succeeds in educating pupils beyond the subject curriculum to enhance their preparation for later life. Pupils are exceptionally well taught about being respectful of each other and in contributing to the school community. They are guided skilfully when making the key decisions about which subjects to study at GCSE and beyond.
