“Pupils across all ages enjoy positive self-esteem, persevere when challenged and develop a strong awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses.”
March 2020 ISI Inspection Report
We believe that the welfare and happiness of our pupils are central to their ability to develop as confident learners and as future leaders in society. For this reason, there is no higher priority than the provision of excellent pastoral care here at St Peter’s.
The tutor is the first point of contact between parents and school. Tutors monitor the social, physical, intellectual and emotional progress of their children, liaising as necessary with parents, individual staff or the whole staff body to ensure that their needs are being met.
On 3 June 2025, St Peter’s achieved the Wellbeing Award for schools, which has been developed by the National Children’s Bureau and Optimus Education. According to the National Children’s Bureau, this award “recognises the outstanding work being done to promote mental health and wellbeing within school communities across England.”
Developed in partnership with the National Children’s Bureau (NCB), the Wellbeing Award for Schools is intended to help schools prepare and equip themselves to promote emotional wellbeing and positive mental health across the whole school community. Evidence shows us that wellbeing is of central importance to learning and attainment, with high levels of wellbeing associated with improved academic outcomes. Conversely, pupils who have mental health problems are more likely to have academic difficulties at school and experience social disadvantage later in adult life.
St Peter’s staff work together, led by Mrs Hughes, to further our work on placing our pupils’ wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.
