Specialist status – End of year 2 external review
|
The school’s partners were unanimous in their praise for the school and their respect for it.
External reviewer
One very large organisation, with a multiplicity of partners, indicated that St Peter’s would be its choice of school to work with, should it be restricted to just one.
External reviewer
The reviewer judged that the school’s specialist dimension was now firmly embedded in the life and work of the school, even though it is only at the end of the second year of B&E status. This view was strongly and consistently confirmed by discussions with students, staff, parents/carers and partners who work with the school.
