The Governing Body is looking to recruit a new Headteacher for September 2025 or January 2026.

St Peter’s is a thriving and vibrant school, where children are engaged, nurtured and inspired. Our ethos is deeply rooted in our school motto, ‘Living Life in all its Fullness’ and our core values of celebration, collaboration, respect, responsibility, service and truth shape every aspect of school life. Visitors frequently remark that St Peter’s is more than just a school – it’s a place where children feel at home, valued and supported in their individual learning journeys.

Over the past five years our school has progressed and developed. We achieved a ‘Good’ Ofsted inspection in 2022 and more recently a superb SIAMS inspection report. We now look forward to building on these strong foundations, taking the school forward.

What we can offer

• Children who are curious, engaged in their learning and love coming to school.
• An engaged and supportive governing body that has considerable experience in education at local and national levels.
• Staff who feel part of a supportive family and who are valued and developed.
• A great environment for children to learn in our lovely 18th Century manor house.
• A strong partnership with St Peter’s Church and the Diocese of Guildford.

Our key priorities for 2025/2026
