Boarders can take full advantage of everything St Peter’s has to offer, including over 80 different co-curricular activities and access to one of the largest and most diverse music schools in the North. Pupils enjoy fantastic facilities on the school’s extensive 47-acre campus, including industry-recognised sports pitches, an award-winning swimming pool and a new boathouse on the banks of the River Ouse. All senior pupils, day and boarding, have a full 6-day week so everyone leads a busy and balanced life together.
