Our campus
Named in 2018 as The Sunday Times’ Best Place to Live, York is internationally regarded as one of Europe’s most beautiful and attractive cities. St Peter’s 47-acre campus stretches all the way to the River Ouse and is only minutes away from York’s stunning city centre.
Three schools, one campus St Peter’s 2-8 sets the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. Nursery pupils have a suite of dedicated accommodation leading directly to a safe, welcoming grass play area, with a multitude of activities and facilities available. Older pupils occupy classrooms in the Chilman Building, just yards from the nursery. All pupils enjoy a full range of facilities at St Peter’s, which include an astro turf area for play and sports, a wildlife pond, a Forest School area, a library and a dining hall. In addition, pupils can make use of the sports facilities, theatre spaces, swimming pool and outdoor spaces afforded by the Senior School campus.
St Peter’s 8-13 has boarding options available. Here pupils are allowed the time and space to develop their confidence and self-esteem. As well as classrooms and play areas, St Peter’s 8-13 has its own Cookery, Design and Technology, Art, Music and Science facilities, two sports halls, grass and astro sports pitches, tennis courts, a quiet garden, a library, a vegetable garden and the Shepherd Hall, used for drama, music and assembly. Pupils make regular use of the swimming pool and attend chapel twice a week, and have access to other shared spaces and facilities on campus.
St Peter’s 13-18 is a day and boarding school combining a long tradition of academic rigour within a focused learning community, with a lively, modern approach to education. St Peter’s occupies a range of buildings, both historic and modern. Classroom facilities are complemented by the Memorial Hall, the school chapel, library, swimming pool and extensive sports grounds. The School boat house is situated on the banks of the River Ouse, giving pupils direct access to 14 miles of river. The School’s five boarding houses – Wentworth (the junior boarding house) and Dronfield, Linton, Manor and The Rise – are all located on or very close to the campus.
