It is an absolute privilege to introduce myself as the Principal of Saints Peter & Paul Catholic High School.
Our school is a thriving place of education.
Every day I see the determination of our students, the dedication of our staff, and the commitment of our families working together to create something very special. What makes me proudest is the balance we achieve: the warmth and care that Saints Peter and Paul has always been known for, combined with the drive and ambition to ensure that every child excels.
​
In our most recent Ofsted inspection, we were once again awarded ‘Good’ by Ofsted, who recognised the high quality of our teaching, the strength of our pastoral support, and our ambitious curriculum. Since then, we have not stood still. We are investing further, raising expectations, and transforming every area of school life so that our students can aspire higher than ever before.
​
Over recent years, our results have reached new heights, placing us amongst the highest attaining schools in Halton. In the most recent GCSE exams, our students achieved record breaking results, affirming that our students can excel academically, whatever their starting point. At Saints Peter and Paul, excellence is not reserved for a few, it is an expectation for all.
​
Here you will find students thriving in an environment of high standards, excellent conduct, and an exciting curriculum that stretches and inspires. Visitors often comment on the pride, confidence, and courtesy of our young people. That comes from a culture where care and aspiration go hand in hand. We believe students achieve their best not just when they are supported, but when they are also challenged to go further.
OUR SCHOOL PRAYER
Father, We thank you for bringing us safely to a new school day, which we share as one family.
​
May love grow strong within these walls and open our hearts to let joy and friendship flourish. ​
Fill us with the courage of St Peter and the wisdom of St Paul, to help us to grow into the people you have called us to be, alive with your love.
Amen
We are proud to be a Salesian Fellowship Catholic school.
Being a Catholic school means we care about the whole child, their character, their spirituality, their potential. Inspired by the Salesian tradition, we ensure every child feels known, valued and cared for. But our care is never about lowering the bar, it is about giving students the belief and resilience to meet the highest expectations.
This is why students told Ofsted inspectors they are “proud to attend Saints Peter and Paul” and that they “feel well cared for and valued for who they are.”
Our values of Respect, Compassion and Aspiration are lived out daily in classrooms, corridors and beyond. Respect ensures a calm and orderly environment where learning flourishes. Compassion shapes our pastoral care. And aspiration drives everything: we expect students to aim high, work hard, and believe in their ability to achieve excellence.​
Every child is unique, and so we are committed to helping each one to discover their strengths, gifts and talents.
Whether through academic study, sport, the arts, leadership opportunities, or vocational pathways, we open doors to futures that inspire. Our students go on to the most reputable vocational providers as well as to leading universities, including Oxford and Cambridge.​
We are ambitious for our school.
Recent renovations and continued investment reflect our determination to provide facilities that match our high standards and enrich the educational experience.
Above all, Saints Peter and Paul is a community of partnership, between staff, students, and families. Together, we create a joyful, purposeful, and ambitious culture where children flourish. When our students leave us, they do so as confident, resilient young people with the qualifications, character and faith to succeed.
Saints Peter and Paul Catholic High School is a place where care meets ambition, and where excellence is achieved by all.
​I warmly invite you to visit us and see this for yourself.​
Yours faithfully,
​

Mrs D Scott
