St. Peter’s is a popular, successful one form entry Methodist controlled primary school located in the heart of historic Canterbury. The school enjoys a strong relationship with the Methodist Church but our pupils come from a wide variety of backgrounds and we offer a caring, Christian ethos.
We have the benefit of modern facilities within a historic setting including a library, music room and an attractive playground with quiet areas and Forest School.
Our dedicated team of teachers and support staff work closely together, striving to continually raise standards, effect school improvement and develop creativity. All staff benefit from effective support and CPD to enable them to develop their potential.
