- **2/5** — Student of 2015-22: Saw 3 different headteachers and decreased with quality over time.The last headteacher banned the following: football at break,card games, outdoor toys and multiple activities.They showed favouritism towards girls and neglect those of any intelligence by treating a class by the weakest persons on divided by 2.One time, a large proportion of girls got in a circle and started asking for demons to get rid of the boys.My friend-who was religious-took this personally and started crying.I also wrote m… *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional Care and Christian Values: My child has been attending St Peter's for 3 years and we couldn't be happier. The staff are so caring and supportive, putting the children at the centre of everything they do. The Christian values that underpin the school are evident in every aspect of school life, and we love that our child is learning to live by these principles. Highly recommend! *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Amazing School Community: We have been part of the St Peter's community for 2 years now, and it has been a fantastic experience for our child and for us as a family. The school's commitment to family values and community spirit is something that really shines through. Our child loves their time at school and the staff are always so friendly and approachable. *(Mar 2022)*
- **3/5** — Mixed Feelings: We had a good experience at St Peter's, but there were a few issues with communication between teachers and parents. The school's facilities are lovely and the Christian values are something we appreciated. However, we felt that the school could do more to support children with SEND. Overall, it was an okay experience, but we're not sure we'd choose it again. *(Sep 2021)*
- **3/5** — Hopefully improved in last 10 years.: I went here almost a decade ago now, so I'm not sure how much it has changed. Some of the problems while I was there included bullying from teachers towards students with a "less privileged" background. There was a lot of underlying prejudice. Teachers were very cold towards certain students and favoured children with rich or middle class parents more than average. Recess wasn't well supervised, which was great for me and my friends, but looking back it could've been open to a lot more exploitat… *(Mar 2021)*
