St Peter's School York

St Peter’s might be the fourth oldest school in the world but this in-demand co-ed has a 21st-century outlook. Widely regarded as one of the top schools in the north of England, St Peter’s is certainly a hot ticket – and the all-through education offered is a real draw. With the current three-school structure moving to two-schools from September 2027, you get the sense there’s no resting on laurels here, with the question, ‘how can we be better?’, always front of mind.

    Bursaries

     

    St Peter’s offers bursaries to children whose families cannot otherwise fund a place. Bursaries are means-tested awards that can help to pay some or all of the school fees for children who demonstrate potential to thrive at the school. They are usually available for entry at Year 7, Year 9 or Year 12. The school welcomes enquiries from anyone considering St Peter’s who might not otherwise be able to afford the fees, and all enquiries are confidential.  

    Sixth Form applicants can apply for the Ginetta STEM scholarship, which is aimed at pupils with a demonstrable interest in design, technology and engineering. The award gives pupils full access to a means-tested 100 per cent scholarship, as well as a unique work experience opportunity at Ginetta. The school also offers honorary academic scholarships to pupils who perform exceptionally well at GCSE. They also offer music scholarships, some of which come with fee remission.
