After St Peter's

Future senior schools

Guidance by Mrs Charlotte Johnston

Personalised plans

Our Head, Mrs Charlotte Johnston, meets individually with parents to advise on future schools, considering both the academic profile of the child and family circumstances. This hands-on approach ensures finding the right fit for each student.

These are the schools our senior school leavers have joined over the last seven academic years:

Diverse senior exhibitors

As an independent prep school, we take our duty in advising our parents on which senior schools to consider for their children very seriously. To support parents and final year pupils, we organise a Future Schools’ Exhibition every two years where we invite a large range of senior schools to exhibit. The Future Schools’ Exhibition is open to all parents who want to find out more information about senior schools. You do not have to be a St Peter’s parent to attend. Our next exhibition is taking place on 23 April 2024. This is an opportunity to meet representatives from a range of senior schools who will discuss how their school might suit your child.

Exhibitors typically include Blundell’s School; Bryanston School; Clifton College; Exeter School; King’s College; King’s School, Bruton; The Maynard School; Millfield; Plymouth College; Queen’s College; Sherborne Girls; Sherborne School; Stover School; Taunton School; Wellington School and Wells Cathedral School.

Non-selective Success

Pupils moving on

St Peter’s Preparatory School is non-selective yet, in 2022, 75% of our Year 8 pupils who went on to join boarding senior schools at Year 9 did so with a scholarship. Our 2022 Year 8 leavers secured senior school places at Exeter School, King’s College, Millfield, Stover School, Taunton School and Wellington School, and scholarships were achieved in Academic, Art, Computer Science, Design & Technology, Music and Sport.
