We are now taking applications for September 2025 to join the Sixth Form at award-winning St Peter’s School, in the heart of York.
If you are considering options for Sixth Form, St Peter's offers outstanding opportunities to prepare young people for adulthood.
Our mission is to prepare pupils for confident, successful and fulfilled adult lives and to make a positive impact on their world.
We achieve this through our Four Pillars: qualifications, skills, interests and values. Together, these pillars prepare our pupils for life beyond school, encouraging, nurturing and challenging them to maximise their potential.
Year 12 at St Peter's School
We offer a wide curriculum of A Level subjects with the teaching extending far beyond the classroom. Pupils learn independent study skills and are encouraged to research widely around the core subjects. Trips, guest speakers and competitions are popular ways for a full immersion into topics.
For a detailed overview of the A Level curriculum, and more detail on Sixth Form please click here.
As important as academic results are, we place a great deal of importance on fostering skills, interests and values. Peterites have a spark, they love to try new things and throw themselves into school life. This prepares them well for adult life beyond school, whether at university or beyond.
We know that Sixth Form years can sometimes have stressful moments for young people so our outstanding pastoral approaches are there to nurture and guide. Our Day and Boarding House system is at the heart of all we do, working alongside wider health and wellbeing services.
