At St Peter’s Prep School in Devon, children progress to upper school in Year 6 and will navigate independently around the site for all lessons. Classes will be led by expert, specialist teachers for each subject, ensuring a focused and high-quality education for our students.
Pupils will achieve much in their academic journey; Spanish is taught alongside French, which will strengthen cognitive skills and result in higher academic success, encourage a positive outlook towards other cultures and languages, and allow greater opportunities for your child to function within a modern globalised world.
All children take part in a French immersion trip in Year 8 and other activities and expeditions.
The majority of our Upper School teachers are specially trained for secondary school education and will challenge and support your child as required.
Our academic programme contains a broad curriculum to ensure excellent results. Children at St Peter’s study the following subjects:
“The pupils are modestly self-confident and resilient. They grow in self-esteem and are well-prepared for the next steps in learning and life.”
St Peter’s makes the most of its 28-acre site with its own woods, heated outdoor swimming pool, numerous rugby, football and cricket pitches, astroturf, tennis courts, adventure playgrounds and lawns.
Children in the Upper School work towards completing their Young Leaders Award. This is a three-year programme that: explores the concept of leadership; investigates the stories and impact of great leaders in society; considers the importance of serving others; and examines how to bring transformation to communities.
This is done through: developing core skills through practical activities and team-building challenges, including effective communication, creative thinking, emotional intelligence, humility and compassion, as well as creating opportunities for social action.
At the end of the Award your child will be awarded a certificate and a badge to celebrate their achievement.
Upper School at St Peter’s Prep is an invaluable experience that will promote the growth of leadership skills and opportunities for your child.
Please find further details in The Final Frontier.
