St. Peter's is both a boarding and day school for 490 boys and girls from 13-18. Its Junior School, St. Olave's, also boarding and day and with 290 pupils, admits boys and girls from 8-13.
The Headmaster is a member of the Headmasters' Conference, and the Master of St. Olave's is a member of the Incorporated Association of Preparatory Schools.
St. Peter's is a Christian foundation, and this is reflected in our weekday Chapel services, our regular voluntary Eucharists, our termly services on Sunday evenings and in our bi-annual services in the Minster.
The School's principal academic aim is to enable its pupils to acquire the necessary qualifications for entry to university, other higher education or the careers which they wish to follow. Our academic results are high, and our organisation of work and pastoral care encourages our boys and girls to achieve the best results of which they are capable.
Outside the academic sphere we introduce our pupils to a wide range of sporting, cultural and creative activities, and we encourage full participation in them.
We believe that a framework of sensible discipline within an understanding and structured environment is essential for and required by young people. We are a relatively small school, and our house and tutorial systems ensure easy personal communication with our pupils and continuing attention both to their intellectual progress and to their development as young men and women with high standards of responsibility and a genuine concern for the needs of others.
