The Peterborough School

The broad and balanced curriculum provides the essential skills of literacy, numeracy and technology. Years 7 to 9 build on students’ strengths and interests to prepare them for GCSE work in Years 10 and 11. All students study English, mathematics, science and religious education. The exciting range of other GCSE subjects includes Latin and the separate sciences of biology, chemistry and physics – taught in our cutting edge science block. Additional support is always available for whoever might need it, including gifted and talented students.

Art, music and drama also enjoy facilities of the highest calibre, providing students with the opportunity to nurture talents, express themselves artistically and grow in confidence.

Sport is an important part of life at The Peterborough School and every pupil is encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities. Older students participate in golf, ice skating and rowing. The School’s reputation in rowing is enviable, with several students crowned national champions.

Pupils at The Peterborough School are embarking on a lifetime of learning. They are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and personal development through independent project work. Unusual and diverse topics are explored using the School’s extensive research resources.

Pupils also learn about themselves as they acquire the experience and confidence to make decisions and tackle successfully the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.
