At St Peter’s School, our ethos Learn, Aspire, Exceed underpins every aspect of school life. We believe deeply in our responsibility to make a meaningful difference to the young people in our care, ensuring every student—regardless of background, ability, culture, belief or disability—can maximise their potential. We set high expectations and aspirations, providing a happy, caring and inclusive environment where excellent teaching, learning and personal development can flourish. Through strong partnerships with families, staff, governors and the wider community, we work together to nurture confident, capable and compassionate young people ready for the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century.
Our Learn, Aspire, Exceed values guide our character education, promoting pride, belonging and positive personal qualities that support students’ social, moral, spiritual and cultural development. These values shape our curriculum, assemblies and celebrations, and are embedded in our approach to behaviour, wellbeing and personal growth. Through a rich and varied curriculum—including the Young People’s Award, first aid education and opportunities to explore new skills—students gain the knowledge, cultural capital and experiences they need to make informed choices about their futures and to thrive both in school and beyond.
