St Peter's High School and Sixth Form Centre is a Roman Catholic academy school and sixth form centre, on Stroud Road in the Tuffley area of Gloucester, England. The headteacher is Philip Rush. The main feeder school is the closely associated St. Peter's Catholic Primary School.
In 2012, the school was rated by Ofsted inspectors, for the fourth consecutive inspection, as "good". In particular, the school is proud of its principled and inclusive Catholic ethos - recently singled out for praise in a minor Ofsted inspection - and of the achievements of its pupils, especially in the 'core' subjects of English and mathematics.
In 2007, the school's Under-18 rugby union team were winners of the Daily Mail Cup, becoming the second comprehensive school victors of the prize, after Campion.[1] They reached the final again in 2009 of the Daily Mail RBS Cup, where they were runners-up.[2]
Recently they have implemented a new uniform. Because of this, it had recent back lash with parents and students alike, criticizing the new uniform and stating how unfair and embarrassing it is. Not only has they have back lash from the local community but from 'Daily Mail' and 'The Sun'-posting articles on the ban of the skirts and the 'One Direction styled' trousers for boys. This shows the school's egotistical and 'Old fashioned' mindset in which it cares about it's reputation more than their pupil's self esteems.
Moreover, bring back the old chicken burgers.
