At St. Peter’s, we want our school to be a place where children can play, learn and work hard; where they are cared for and inspired. Pupils, staff, parents/carers and community partners work together to: • Create a happy, safe and inclusive school • Provide relevant, rich experiences to allow everyone to achieve and learn to the best of their ability. **We aim for all children to:** • Be independent in their learning, form their own views and opinions and be excited about the challenges learning can bring • Have the courage to keep trying and the determination to succeed • Value their place within and contribute to our school, community and the wider world through the teaching of rights and responsibilities • Know that they are all important and equal through the teaching of respect for all ![](https://www.st-peters.hereford.sch.uk/images/Classes/Reception/50866.jpg)![](https://www.st-peters.hereford.sch.uk/images/Classes/Reception/50863.jpg) - Why Choose St. Peter's - How To Apply - Admissions Documents ## Why Families Choose St Peter's ### About St. Peter's Children at St. Peter’s can begin their journey in our wonderful, on-site preschool, then work their way through our caring, single form entry school; small enough to be known by everyone but big enough to have great facilities and a wealth of excellent, experienced staff. Our Reception class takes a maximum of 30 pupils but classes are often smaller and with plenty of adult support.  We take great pride in playing an active role in the vibrant community of Bromyard, such as inviting in members of our town, such as the vicar and the Police, participating in town events like the Christmas Tree and Scarecrow festivals, and attending sporting events with other schools. We have an active PTFA who put on fun events throughout the year and provides the school with funds for things such as new books, musical instruments or a visit to the pantomime. St Peter's was inspected by Ofsted in May 2025 and we are delighted that they graded us as 'good' in every area. You can read the wonderful report [here](https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/21/149258). We are incredibly proud of the progress in learning made by our fabulous pupils. Last year, our KS2 SATs results were 16% higher than the national average which put us in the top 15% of schools in the UK. ### Facilities We benefit from large school grounds with a view of the Bromyard Downs and the Malvern Hills. We have a large playground and playing field; lots of adventure play equipment; a Forest School site, including a pond; an outdoor classroom and a greenhouse. Our EYFS and Preschool children have their own playgrounds, field, and secret garden, too, so there is always somewhere to explore. We have an onsite breakfast club and after school care to help families with childcare. ![](https://www.st-peters.hereford.sch.uk/images/images/DJI_20241120124909_0120_D.JPG) We are proud to be part of the Three Counties Academy Trust and benefit from working closely with the other primary schools in the trust. ![](https://www.st-peters.hereford.sch.uk/images/images/Three-Counties.png) Preschool Admissions If you are interested in our wonderful preschool, please contact the school via [email ](mailto:office@st-peters.hereford.sch.uk?subject=Nursery%20visit)or phone us on 01885 483237 and speak to Mrs Unwin.

In-year transfers are most common for families who move house to a new area or can no longer easily access their current school. At St. Peter’s, we recognise that moving to a new school can feel daunting for some children. To help every pupil settle in smoothly, we have a dedicated buddy system. Each new pupil is paired with a friendly classmate who will show them around, answer questions and help them feel at home from day one. Alongside this, every new pupil is assigned a member of staff—usually their class teacher—who will check in with them after one month and again after three months. These meetings ensure they are happy, confident, and fully settled into school life. If you are interested in moving your child to St Peter's, you will need to inform your current school and complete an In-Year Transfer form. This has to be signed by both parties and handed in to your chosen school.
