Last Sunday, St Peter’s Chess Team went to Eton College to compete against the top fifty chess teams from schools across England. Although St Peter’s has an active chess club, this was the first national competition that the school had entered.
The first round was challenging! Lots to learn for their first tournament. But round two was quite different! The team returned with renewed determination and focus and won two and drew one of the next four matches. When the final standings were calculated, St Peter’s finished in equal 34th place - an outstanding performance for a first competitive appearance. The competition was won by RGS Guildford, who narrowly beat the invited Irish Champions Team from Gonzaga College, Dublin.
Congratulations to everyone on the team for a very impressive performance! St Peter’s Team: Adam, Sam, Sam, Charlie, Tom, Thomas and Callum.
The next competition will be after school in November at RGS in Guildford. St Peter’s would like to enter two teams into this local competition and we are looking for more players from Years 7 to 11 in particular. If you enjoy playing chess, or are keen to learn, come along to chess club in the library on Monday lunchtimes. Test your chess skills at www.chess.com.

A selection of students from St Peter’s spent a most inspiring morning at Surrey Satellite Technology in Guildford, today, to celebrate the government’s Year of Engineering this year.
Our Year 9 and Year 12 students saw ‘mission control’ for SSTL’s first all-British radar mini satellite, NovaSAR, launched in India last Sunday. They met engineers who work on the satellites and learnt about how satellites are designed, built, tested, launched and operated.
Students found out about SSTL’s apprenticeship programme, work experience, internships and graduate programmes to help them understand the routes into aerospace engineering.
at 7pm. There is no need to book but please do arrive promptly to the Headteacher's talk in the Dining Hall.
The remainder of the week is as normal: 3:15pm finish.
Record A Level Results at St Peter’s Catholic School
There were cheers and tears of joy as students opened their A level results at St Peter’s School. 78% of all results were A* to B, which is a fantastic achievement and a record for St Peter’s School. Over half of results achieved are A or A*, which is a credit to the hard work and determination of the students.
We are incredibly proud of every student, and a special mention should go to Charles Dudley, Non Geraint and Cara Malcolm who, having achieved 4 A* grades, will now go on to Cambridge University to study Engineering . Students who achieved 3 A* grades are: Kieran Michael and Jennie Sarama. Many students were awarded A* or A grades across all their subjects; Adam Birchmore, Farah Bisada, Kathryn Brand, Will Catchpole, Megan Fitzwater, Charlie Haclin, Jenna Hill, Hugo Holmes, Rebecca King, Connie Miller, Francesca Pain, Maura Sherlock and Harriet Trayling. Other students who should be particularly proud of their achievements are: Maria Baczynska, Sam Levick, Oliver Porter, Joe Roberts, Felicity Scott, Naomi Freeman and Cherry Meeks. Nearly all our student have accepted their university offers, with students going to on to study a range of courses including medicine, dentistry, engineering, English language, accountancy, psychology and midwifery.
Behind these excellent headlines there are many stories, where students have overcome adversity or personal challenges which make the accomplishment even more special. We are so grateful for all the hard work and effort that has gone into supporting, encouraging and nurturing the students from the staff and the endless support that the parents have given their young people and the school. It is exciting to see them leave St Peter’s and start a new chapter. We wish them all the best for the future.
Please find below our new 2019 prospectus. The course booklet is currently in production and will be posted shortly.
