Join Our Family at St. Peter's Academy

Where Your Career Flourishes in a Community That Cares

St. Peter's is more than just a workplace—it's a vibrant, nurturing community where both children and staff thrive. As an 'Outstanding' Beacon Church School (SIAMS) with 'Outstanding' Personal Development (Ofsted, February 2025), we've created an environment where professional excellence meets genuine warmth, and where every team member plays a vital role in shaping young lives.

Why Choose St. Peter's?

Recognised Excellence You'll Be Proud Of

Our recent Ofsted inspection (February 2025) awarded us Outstanding for Personal Development, recognising what our staff experience daily: a school where warm relationships, exemplary character development and genuine care create something truly special.

Ofsted said it best:
"The way the school develops pupils' character is exemplary. An ethos of care and compassion permeates everything that pupils say and do."

When you join St. Peter's, you become part of this outstanding practice—working in an environment where your expertise is valued and your contribution makes a measurable difference.

A Supportive, Values-Led Environment

Our 'One Family Under God' ethos extends to every member of our team. Here, you'll work alongside colleagues who genuinely support one another, guided by our six Mission Keys: Koinonia (working as a whole), Service, Justice, Trust, Forgiveness and Humility. These aren't just words on a wall—they shape how we collaborate, communicate and grow together.

Visitors to St. Peter's consistently comment on the enthusiasm, happiness, supportiveness and kindness they witness from both children and staff. This warmth isn't accidental—it's the result of a culture that places positive relationships at the heart of everything we do.

A Place Where You're Truly Valued

"Staff place warm and positive relationships with pupils at the heart of all they do." – Ofsted, 2025

Everyone in our community matters. Your contributions will be recognised, your voice will be heard, and your wellbeing will be a priority. We believe that when staff feel supported and valued, they do their best work—and our inspection outcomes reflect this philosophy in action.

Professional Growth & Development

We're committed to investing in our staff just as much as our students. You'll have access to:

• High-quality professional development opportunities tailored to your career goals
• Collaborative planning time with skilled colleagues who have high expectations
• Mentorship and support that helps you reach your full potential as an educator
• A calm, purposeful learning environment where pupils engage well and take pride in their work

Our staff are recognised as experts who interact skilfully with children to promote curiosity and enhance learning. You'll be part of a team that maintains high standards whilst nurturing every child's potential.

The Joy of Making a Real Difference

There's something special about working in a school where:

• Children arrive each day with smiles on their faces and receive welcoming smiles in return
• Pupils are beautifully respectful, polite and well-mannered
• Kindness is the norm and compassion permeates everything
• Children feel safe, looked after and genuinely believed in
• Learning comes alive in an inclusive, welcoming environment

You'll witness firsthand the impact of teaching in a secure, caring setting where children are inspired to 'believe and achieve.'

What Our Community Says

From Our Pupils:

"We feel safe and looked after here."
"Teachers are kind and helpful."
"Staff believe in you."
"The kids are all kind, and you always have someone to talk to."

From Ofsted (February 2025):

"Pupils attend happily... Strong relationships help pupils feel safe in school."

"Pupils behave beautifully. They are routinely polite and well-mannered... The school is a calm and purposeful learning environment."

"Pupils across the school engage well with learning... Pupils take pride in their work. Books are presented to a high standard."
