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 as "good" having had three previous consecutive inspections rated as "outstanding". In particular, the school is proud of its principled and inclusive Catholic ethos - recently singled out for praise in a section 48 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]
