Aspire, Believe, Grow, Achieve
I am delighted to welcome you to St Peter’s Church of England Middle School and I hope that this prospectus gives you an insight into school life.
Andy Snipp Headteacher
The opportunity to educate other people’s children is a privilege. At St Peter’s we take this responsibility extremely seriously. We care about the individual and pride ourselves in the warmth of a community in which all our students feel valued.
We care enough to challenge our students and make the most of all we have to offer. We are aware that we are learning for the future, on the doorstep of history, with all the specialist teaching, buildings and resources you would expect from a much larger school; we believe that St Peter’s offers the children of the Windsor area something special.
We work closely with our feeder First schools. Children settle into their new routines quickly and respond well to the challenges of Year 5. Students move on to Upper Schools having reached their full potential in body, mind, heart and spirit and are well prepared for the next part of life’s journey.
I look forward to meeting you and hope that you will decide that St Peter’s is the best place for your child to be educated.
You yourselves like living stones are being built up.

You yourselves like living stones are being built up- valued by God- and a unique member of our school community. You will continue to build firm foundations for life in all its fullness – spiritually, academically, socially and emotionally, as this is at the heart of everything we do. We want you to become a wise, compassionate and responsible citizen in today’s multi-faith modern Britain.
At our core are the values of: Wisdom, Integrity, Trust, Compassion and Fellowship. Through God and these values we will live out our Motto:
To Aspire to be the very best we can, to Believe in our own abilities and those of the people around us, to Grow and develop continually and to Achieve the very best we can.
Children leave our school with a sense of belonging to a tightly knit community where they have the confidence and skills to apply our 5 keys to success: self-management, challenge, connection making, creative thinking and problem solving. These visible learning habits will allow the children to become lifelong learners.
Strive for excellence with the gifts that God has given them.
Be socially and spiritually mature, demonstrating a high degree of emotional intelligence, empathy, tolerance and understanding of Christian teaching and values.
Move on from the school well prepared for the next stage of learning and life’s journey, possessing effective life-long skills of resilience, resourcefulness, respect and the values of Fellowship, Trust, Integrity, Compassion and Wisdom.
Develop an appreciation and love of life aesthetically, physically and spiritually.
At St Peter’s Church of England Middle School, the curriculum is designed to: recognise children’s prior learning, provide first-hand learning experiences, allow the children to develop interpersonal skills, build resilience and become creative, critical thinkers.
Every child is recognised as a unique individual, valued by God. We celebrate and welcome differences within our school community.
The ability to learn and progress is underpinned by the teaching of skills, knowledge, concepts and values. We constantly provide enhanced and enriched opportunities to engage with learning and believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives where there are no limits to curiosity and there is a thirst for new experiences and knowledge. We use our school values of: Wisdom, Integrity, Trust, Compassion and Fellowship to promote positive attitudes to learning and to promote the responsibility for learning and future success.
