T
he House System is at the heart of life at St Peter’s School. Each year, Houses across the school from Reception to Sixth Form engage in friendly Inter-House challenges, teaching the children the values of trust, endurance and humility. Our Houses create a welcoming, caring and inclusive community in which we can all feel valued and grow in confidence, and where lifelong friendships are established.
Our School Family 2-8 The House System is at the heart of our pastoral care provision at St Peter’s 2-8, encouraging the children to take responsibility and creating a sense of community between year groups.
When entering Reception, each child is placed in a House, named after a gateway to the City of York: Walmgate, Micklegate or Monk. House Captains Well done to this year’s House Captains, who are elected on a termly basis.

Our summer term House Captains were Poppy (Micklegate), Daniel (Walmgate) and Benji (Monk) House Points Trophy House points are awarded in lessons for hard work, with the winning house for each week being declared in assembly by Mr Hardy.
