Aims of S. Peter's School

At the heart of our school:

• will be a Christian education as observed in the doctrines and practices of the Church of England.

• we will promote opportunities for worship, prayer and reflection offered to God and central to the life of the school, rooted in the Scriptures and in our participation in The Holy Eucharist.

• relationships at all levels will reflect the great and equal value placed by God on each human being as revealed in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

• a sense of curiosity and excitement about the world will be stimulated in students to encourage each individual to search for truth, meaning, purpose and a faith by which to live.

• the joy of discovery and the discipline of study will be directed to prepare students for adult life in their work, homes and families, leisure pursuits and relationships.

• we will develop a breadth of educational experience for students so that our technological expertise is well balanced by humanities, scientific, language, aesthetic, creative, vocational and social learning activities.

• the curriculum will promote high expectations, recognising different styles of teaching and learning, breadth of achievement and methods of assessment, and will demonstrate equal concern for the educational needs and aspirations of all.

• adults and students within our community will be valued in a spirit of mutual respect and tolerance to challenge all forms of stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination.

• students will be encouraged to develop physical and recreational skills and interests that will enrich their lives, and promote a keen, sympathetic awareness and stewardship of the world, its environment, cultures and lifestyles.

• we will help students to find a true vocation in life, to prepare them for the world of work and their lives as active citizens in the community.
