St Peter’s has an outstanding academic record with children making exceptional progress in all areas of the school, maintained by close teacher assessment and standardised progress tests.
Nursery children are taken by our drivers and their teachers in our fleet of minibuses to Exmouth beach where they choose their own learning paths through various activities such as: mark making; jumping; taking risks; making dens in the rocks and colour sorting bean bags into hoops.
A parent wrote of St Peter’s production of Olivia: “It felt like something magical happened…The show was stunning and a reflection of the tremendous effort that you have all made!”
