Background:

St Peter's serves a mixed urban area on the north eastern edge of the town. The school overlooks Rivington and Winter Hill, and the Leeds-Liverpool canal and the M61 run parallel to the boundary of the playing fields. The junior block dates back to 1926 and the hall and the infant department to 1970. In 1997 a lower junior block was added, with two spacious classrooms, a small room suitable for groups or special needs work, and modern toilet facilities. In recent years there have been many alterations and extensions to improve facilities and give more space. In 1998 a free-standing nursery unit was completed which can accommodate 20 children per session. The school is fortunate to have 'extensive' land attached, used primarily for sports purposes. In 1993, a project in conjunction with the Canal and Countryside Commission saw the provision of an environmental trail and paths around the perimeter and the planting of hundreds of saplings to screen the eastern boundary. There are clubs in swimming, art, recorders, science, French, dance, skittleball, football and athletics and the school's 'numerous' sporting successes include winning the football league in 1998. The school also has many community links and participates in charity fund-raising.
