St Peter's Collegiate Academy

Over the coming year, we'll be making greater use of the Arbor App as part of our ongoing work to improve communication and make key processes clearer and more efficient for parents and carers. Arbor will increasingly be used as our central platform for: - important messages and updates; - letters and communications; - trip information and electronic consent; - payments, including a future move to Arbor Pay; - attendance and behaviour information. Our aim is to bring more information into one secure place, reducing the need for multiple emails and paper forms, helping families stay informed more easily. If you have already downloaded the Arbor App, please ensure notifications are switched on. If you have not yet set up your account, we encourage you to do so, as this will become an increasingly important way we communicate with home. Thank you for your continued support as we take this next step forward together.

SPCA Students Make Us Proud Our students represented the academy superbly this week at the City Table Tennis Championships (Years 9–11), held at Our Lady & St Chad's Catholic Academy. With 16 teams competing from across the city, St Peter's Collegiate Academy entered three teams and delivered an outstanding performance, securing gold and silver medals. The final was an all-St Peter's affair, with St Peter's B narrowly defeating St Peter's A in a deciding rubber after the match finished 2–2. Every student involved showed determination, teamwork and resilience throughout the competition, remaining positive and focused, even with a late return to school after 7.00 pm. A fantastic achievement and a real credit to the academy. #WeAreSPCA #FlourishingStudents

A Proud Moment for Ella and Our Community We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of Ella T in Year 7, who attended a dance awards evening just before the Christmas break and received the Hardest Worker 2025 award. Alongside this, Ella has passed her tap and ballet exams with honours and achieved a distinction in her Acrobatic Dance Primary Grade. These results reflect her commitment, focus and the time she puts into her training. Ella is now looking ahead to the next exciting stage of her journey, as she prepares to begin competing next year with her Junior Elite Dance Group at Hollies Dance Academy. We are proud to see our students flourishing in their passions beyond the classroom and wish Ella every success as she continues to develop her talents. #WeAreSPCA #FlourishingStudents #LifeInAllItsFullness

A New Chapter Begins at St Peter's Today, we began the phased return of students into our brand-new building, a significant milestone for our academy and wider community. Students in Years 7, 8 and 11 were among the first to tour the new spaces, exploring three floors of light, bright and thoughtfully designed teaching rooms, equipped with the latest technology and created with learning firmly at the centre. These specialist, future-focused facilities have been designed to support high-quality teaching and learning, providing an environment in which both students and staff can thrive and flourish. Seeing these spaces in use, just as they were intended, has been a proud moment for all involved. Alongside this, our dedicated Site Team have spent the Christmas break upgrading existing areas of the academy. D Block has been transformed, with the creation of new dance and drama studios that will further enrich our creative provision and support specialist learning. The next phase of the project will see the demolition of the former B, C and F blocks, followed by full landscaping of the site. This final stage will complete the transformation of our academy, with the entire programme due to be finished by August. This is about more than buildings. It is about community, opportunity and aspiration. As a flourishing school community, we remain committed to providing outstanding facilities that support the education and development of the children and young people of Wolverhampton. We look forward to welcoming the next groups of students and continuing this exciting journey together. #WeAreSPCA #FlourishingCommunities #Wolverhampton
