St. Peter's Academy is an Anglican secondary school in Stoke-on-Trent. It is an academy sponsored by the Woodard Academies and the Diocese of Lichfield. It is the merger of two former schools Berryhill High School and Sports College and St Peters High School.
Construction
"The school was built by Thomas Vale Construction costing £18.7 million; it was built as part of the Stoke-on-Trent City Councils BSF (Building Schools for the Future) Programme. Its construction started during 2011 and was completed during September 2013 as planned. It was built to "provide a world class education within a clear Christian ethos which purposefully serves the needs of the community of Stoke-on-Trent." [1]
Building
"The school is split into four chapters: Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. Each chapter is named after one of the four evangelists. Each subject has its own designsted block in the building for example Matthew has the Maths area. Each student is assigned to a chapter where they compete against one another in attendance, behaviour and sports. The site is split into five fingers representing the chapters and another one representing unity. There are three entrances to the building labelled with an alphabetical value. It shares its grounds with the neighbouring Fenton Manor Complex; the school also has the city's only fullsize 3G Astro Football Pitch and two other football courts.
Reports
"The school gave optimism for a better track record for learning, however this proved otherwise. The schools most recent report gave it a "4 Inadequate" which is the lowest possible. The school is currently under special measures and is frequently visited by Inspectors. There are PCSO's in the school and frequently there is a police presence outside the site.
