St Peters School   St Peters School St Peter’s School

Situated on the banks of the Ouse within sight of the Minster, St Peter's York is a wonderful place for young people to grow and develop. With the advantage of a tradition which extends back to 627AD, and a forward programme of study combined with a wide extra-curricular programme, the school ensures young people develop beyond expectations. The school has a well founded reputation for academic excellence, created by inspirational teaching and first class pastoral care. The 2010 A Level results at 21% A*, 58% Grade A*A and 85% A/B speak for themselves. Nearly all our Upper 6 go on to top universities including Oxford and Cambridge. Academic rigour is just one aspect of a St Peter's education – sport, arts, drama, music and community service are taken equally seriously, as we believe strongly that there is far more to a great education than just the classroom. Inspiration through the Arts is part of the St Peter's experience, and the quality of our Art, Drama and Music has to be seen to be believed.Although day pupils are in the majority, St Peter's is at heart a boarding school with all pupils benefiting from the unique ethos where the whole person is known and looked after with deep long lasting relationships forged with both friends and staff. Day pupils benefit from opportunities normally only available at boarding schools The school has over 47 acres of grounds and sports facilites that lead down to the River Ouse, even though it is situated just a ten minute walk from the centre of York. Our boarders particularly enjoy the fact that they are not way out in the country and that they form local friendships amongst our day pupils that give them a lasting link to York and Yorkshire beyond school.
