About St Peter's Catholic School

St Peter's Catholic School sits within Surrey's strong state secondary landscape, one of 14 schools in the local authority rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Among its peers, it ranks just behind St Andrew's Catholic School, Gordon's School, and Salesian School, Chertsey, placing it in the upper tier of Surrey's 66 same-type secondaries. The school serves 1,347 pupils aged 11 to 18 in Guildford, under headteacher Toby Miller, and holds a Roman Catholic character that shapes its identity. Its most recent graded inspection in March 2025 awarded Outstanding across every category judged: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision. This continues a pattern of excellence, as the school also received Outstanding in its previous inspection in 2014. For families prioritising a school with a strong moral framework and proven Ofsted track record, St Peter's stands out in a competitive local market.
