Nestled between the coast and moorland, but within 15 minutes of the buzzing city of Exeter, St Peter’s sits in a prime location in Lympstone, South Devon, overlooking the Exe Estuary. As you travel down the long drive to the beautiful classic building and grounds of Harefield House you are instructed to ‘Enjoy The View’ and it is this open vista which, some say, characterises the ethos of the school. Open view, open minds. This forward-thinking independent preparatory school in Devon embraces an aspiring and positive attitude to learning whilst still instilling the core values of a traditional prep school: courtesy, consideration and common sense.
It is always best to come and see what we do firsthand, to get a feel for the school, and I invite you warmly to come and visit, meet the staff and pupils and see for yourselves why the school is so special. Promoting emotional wellbeing and positive mental health is central to our work.
At St Peter’s, we are committed to supporting you at every stage of this important process, whether at the primary stage or at the start of Key Stage 3. Your journey to choosing the ideal educational environment is significant, and we’re here to provide guidance and assistance to ensure you make an informed decision.
Your journey begins with discovery. Take the first step by learning more about our facilities, virtually touring our Devon campus, and securing your spot for an in-person visit. Explore the enriching environment of St Peter’s by delving into our state-of-the-art facilities!

Learning outside the classroom is a large part of life at St Peter’s Preparatory School. We know that being outdoors in the fresh air and within nature has huge benefits for the children physically and mentally.
