3 Keys to Success

Headmaster Leo Winkley

School should be serious fun. A good school should offer a safe but challenging environment in which its pupils learn about themselves, develop resilience, confidence and a sense of where they want to go in life.

St Peter’s is a forward-looking school with a long and distinguished history extending back to 627 AD. We believe in providing an education that lasts. Of course, this means getting good exam results and going on to the right universities, but, above all, we want our pupils to work hard and enjoy learning for learning’s sake.

We want them to be grounded and able to think for themselves, care for others and take a genuine interest in the world beyond the school.

We benefit greatly from our setting in 47 acres by the banks of the River Ouse, all within sight of the Minster and the lively, historic city of York. As a co-educational day and boarding school with superb facilities, we provide an enriching and inclusive community life, based on living our Christian values.  We offer an inspiring curriculum, excellent sport, and abundant opportunities to do, make, perform and create.

Adolescence can be an uncertain, choppy sea and, however intrepid our youngsters are, they need islands of certainty: our caring teaching and pastoral staff support and guide our pupils along the way.  Together, we deliver a dynamic, all-round education that is founded on the wisdom of the ages, leading our pupils ‘over ancient paths’, our school motto, and preparing them for an active and purposeful future.

Do come and visit – we’d be delighted to welcome you.
