St Peters High School & Sixth Form

The school has recently received the formal report from OfSTED following their inspection in February 2009. They said St Peter's is an outstanding school. It is a school with ambition and drive. Two of the most striking things about the school are students' exemplary behaviour in lessons and their excellent attitudes to learning. St Peter's students are mature, friendly and polite.

The headteacher and his leadership team believe that students' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is the school's core purpose and this is a real strength of the school's work. Students feel very safe in school; they are very well cared for. St Peter's does much to promote community cohesion.

The teaching of key subject knowledge and understanding is rigorous and often inspiring. Students' learning skills are well developed. GCSE examination results are consistently above average. Students from all backgrounds and of all abilities do well. There is remarkably high provision in English and mathematics.

The inspection was carried out under a new procedure which is scrupulous and detailed. That the school should - for the third time running under the OfSTED regime - be placed in the highest category endorses its reliable and thorough excellence. Few schools can match this record; none can surpass it.

The success testifies to the hard work, dedication and commitment of the school's staff - all its staff, not just the teachers, to the commitment of its parents and to the energy and determination of its students. The school reflects in practice the Catholic Christian ethos which it proclaims.

How do I book a Mass?

You need to either go to the Repository and get a card and then they will organise it for you, or you can call at the Parish Office. Please note the parish office only has card for Masses for those who have recently died.

How do I organise a funeral?

You need to talk to your chosen Funeral Director who will then liase with the church and either the cemerty or crematorium. They will thus be able to sort out dates and times that are suitable for everyone concerned. The church does not have any one firm that it recommends, and we work well with all the local firms.
