St Peter’s CE Junior School is a two-form entry Church of England junior school, close to the centre of Farnborough but on a beautiful, tree-lined site which we share with St Peter’s Church. For a small school, we are lucky to enjoy a range of varied facilities including a dedicated art room, lots of quiet group spaces, a pupil kitchen, and our beautiful library at the centre of the school. Not many state schools can say their library is the original entrance to a Grade-2 listed manor house with hundreds of years of history!
