St Peter’s is a busy school combining nearly 1400 years of history with an innovative curriculum and masses of opportunities outside the classroom, designed to prepare our pupils to be confident, successful and fulfilled adults who make a positive impact on their world.
Discover all that we have to offer at our upcoming Open Events.
We offer a wide curriculum of A Level subjects with the teaching extending far beyond the classroom. In Sixth Form, pupils will have access to our Super Curriculum Programme where they are able to choose to study courses or gain an additional qualification such as Astronomy, Personal finance, Athlete Pathway Support Provision or Professional Presentation alongside their A Level Courses. The many options available ensure a truly personalised experience. Trips, guest speakers and competitions are popular ways for a full immersion into topics.
As important as academic results are, we place equal importance on fostering skills, interests and values. Peterites have a spark, they love to try new things and throw themselves into school life. This prepares them well for adult life beyond school, whether at university or beyond.

Co-Curricular
Our beautiful campus and outstanding facilities give you space to grow and a sense of beauty and calm. Meanwhile, York is one of the best cities in the country in which to spend your years as a teenager and beyond and our links to the Minster and partnerships with local schools, universities and other cultural organisations brings a richness to the experience of being a Peterite.
Our 50 acres allows for a varied and exciting co-curricular programme, that we encourage all pupils to take full advantage of. Our six day week allows the time for you to select many options you might not have tried before all within the school day, which means our pupils leave school as well-rounded individuals with many skills and interests in addition to their excellent academics.
