  • Owner St Peter's Cofe Academy Author K Porter
    Owner St Peter’s CofE Academy Author K Porter St Peter’s CofE Academy welcomes children from all backgrounds, faiths and no faith. The Sponsors of the academy are committed to developing an inclusive school that reflects the diversity of the whole community in Stoke-on-Trent. Academy Ethos Statement St Peter’s Cof E Academy is an inclusive academy that serves the whole community of Stoke-on-Trent. The academy has a distinctive character and ethos, which reflect the teachings of Jesus Christ and Christian values. We ask all parents applying for a place here for their children to respect this ethos and its importance to the academy community. We hope that all students who come to St Peter’s CofE Academy will be able to participate (as appropriate) in the religious life of the academy (including collective worship and religious education). This does not affect the right of parents to withdraw their children from collective worship and religious education and for those who are not Christians to apply for a place. Indeed, through our commitment to inclusivity, we actively welcome families from other faiths and no faith. St Peter’s CofE Academy admits 210 students to Year 7 each September. Out of the 210 places, the Academy Council intends to allocate up to 120 ‘Foundation Places’ (for practicing Christians) and 90 ‘Open Places’. Foundation Places The Academy Council has designated up to 120 places to be offered to pupils whose families are faithful and regular worshippers (see Note 1) in a Church of England Parish Church or other place of worship or other Christian Church affiliated to Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) and/or the Evangelical Alliance.
