Head Teacher's Message

A very warm welcome to our school website. St Peter’s is a friendly school on two sites with a peaceful village atmosphere, a strong Christian tradition and ethos, and close links with St Peter’s Church and the Diocese of Birmingham. The school prides itself on a warm, caring environment and a supportive partnership with parents, valuing each child as a unique individual and providing opportunities for academic and personal development. Headteacher: Alison Leonard.

Curriculum Highlights

St. Peter’s school curriculum is stimulating and challenging, knowledge rich and aims to broaden minds, develop natural inquisitiveness, instill joy in discovery and make links between different aspects of learning. The curriculum covers a broad range of subjects reflecting the school’s local context, with a balance in Year 6 between SATs prep and an engaging program of subjects. Trips are linked to the curriculum to give pupils experiences outside of school. The recovery curriculum was put in place from September 2020, and gaps in learning are monitored and addressed. Insight Tracker is used to check progress in every year group, with termly pupil progress meetings and interventions when needed.

Admissions Criteria

All applications should be made online to Admissions. If you have an older child at St Peter's you still need to apply for a place.
