About St Peter’s School, York

St Peter’s School, York was founded in AD 627, making it one of the oldest schools in the world. The school sits on a 50-acre riverside campus within York city centre, operating as a co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged 2 to 18. Around 1,000 pupils move through Nursery, Junior, Senior and sixth form phases on a single, continuous site. That degree of coherence across age groups is unusual for a school of this age and scale. St Peter’s is a member of HMC (Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference) and was rated ‘Excellent’ across both quality of education and pupils’ personal development by ISI (Independent Schools Inspectorate) in 2023.

Academic Life

The Senior school teaches GCSEs, with A-levels offered in the sixth form. Most sixth formers take four subjects in the Lower Sixth before narrowing to three in the Upper Sixth. The 2024 A-level results recorded 62% at A*–A, 87% at A*–B, and 98% at A*–E. At GCSE, 68% of grades were 9–7 in 2024, indicating consistent performance across both key stages.

Sixth Form

The sixth form takes both internal pupils and external candidates. Fees for international sixth form boarders stand at £55,950 per year (2026–27, inc. VAT), with UK/EEA full boarding at £51,945. Day sixth form fees are £30,330 per year. The breadth of the A-level offer supports applications to competitive UK and international university destinations.

Part-time boarding fees for Years 9–11 are £38,490 per year (2026–27, inc. VAT); full international boarding for the same years runs to £55,470. The riverside campus gives boarders direct access to one of England’s most historically textured cities at weekends. Pastoral care follows the school’s house system, within a community that has operated continuously for nearly 1,400 years.

Beyond the Classroom

Co-curricular provision at St Peter’s spans more than 80 clubs and activities. The school fields 250 sports teams across 15 sports. St Peter’s Boat Club, founded in 1851, is among the oldest school rowing clubs in the world, with competitive programmes on the River Ouse. Music, drama and art sit alongside sport within the wider activity programme. DofE (Duke of Edinburgh’s Award) and CCF (Combined Cadet Force) are available as part of the co-curricular offer.

Campus & Setting

The school occupies a 50-acre site on the banks of the River Ouse in York city centre, a working campus within a UNESCO World Heritage city. Historic buildings sit alongside facilities serving pupils from Nursery through to sixth form. York’s compact, walkable centre puts cultural institutions, sports venues and transport links within easy reach of the school gate.
