St Peter's Catholic School, Guildford is a State Secondary School for kids aged 11 to 18 (Gender - Mixed)
St Peter’s is a community that supports one another through life experience and academic learning, and ensures every member feels individually valued. The Catholic ethos permeates throughout the school in how they treat each other and they value the opportunities for personal and community reflection that stems from celebrating being ‘Christ to all’. The students are wonderful – they are hardworking, well-behaved and enjoy spending time with each other and the staff. They work in a positive culture using consistent procedures and excellent systems. They are very proud of the quality of care students receive alongside their academic education and strive to make all students’ time at school some of the happiest times of their lives.
CURRICULUM - YEARS 7, 8 AND 9 (KEY STAGE 3)
Students follow a common entitlement programme in line with the National Curriculum requirements. The subjects studied are: Art, Drama, English, Geography, History, Computing, Citizenship (PSHE), Mathematics, Modern Languages, Music, Physical Education, Religious Education, Science and Technology. There are three academic reports for KS3 students in the school year – Christmas, Easter and summer. Students will receive one of three grades– Exceptional, Expected or Aspiring – for each subject. Our aim is for all students to be at least ‘Expected’ by the end of the academic year, which means they are on track to achieve at least a Grade 5 at GCSE.
CURRICULUM - YEARS 10 AND 11 (KEY STAGE 4)
Students follow a National Curriculum programme, most subjects leading to certification at GCSE. All students follow courses in the following: English, Citizenship, Mathematics, Physical Education, Religious Education, Science (with the more able students doing three separate Sciences). Students then select three subjects which can be chosen from the following: Art, Business Studies, Computing, IT, Drama, Geography, Health and Social Care, History, Modern Languages (currently French and Spanish), Music, Physical Education, Textiles, Systems and Control, Food Technology and Resistant Materials. They encourage most students to study a language to GCSE level. Please note – option subjects are revised annually and subject to change.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Students are encouraged to participate in the many extra-curricular clubs and house activities that are offered at lunchtime and after school by staff. All information is published on the weekly Student Bulletin that is discussed during the daily tutor time. In addition, throughout the year there are many trips to theatres, activity days and sports fixtures where students are given as many opportunities as possible to develop their interests and skills.
