STRIVE

STRIVE is an alternative educational provision designed for students who are unable to access mainstream education for various reasons.

At St Peter’s, we recognise the importance of offering an inclusive provision to give our students the opportunity to succeed and reach their potential. We always endeavour to keep our students connected to the school in some capacity, and STRIVE is a vital learning opportunity for those who find mainstream lessons challenging. We are proud of our extensive experience and success in helping students develop their personal and academic skills and prepare for the future.

STRIVE stands for Support, Trust, Respect, Invest, Value, and Educate. These ideals underpin our work with a small group of students who attend lessons on the main school site. In STRIVE, we support each student, building trust and strong relationships. We focus on reinforcing positive behaviours and learning. We invest our time and resources to help students succeed, valuing each student's unique worth and providing a comprehensive education to help them grow. STRIVE is all about helping students learn, aspire, and exceed.

STRIVE features four classrooms where students work in small groups or one-to-one sessions with specialist staff and subject teachers as appropriate. The students’ curriculum is enriched with a range of extracurricular activities to develop their broader skills and experiences. A key role of STRIVE is to prepare students to rejoin mainstream school or to be ready for their next steps in education. As such, students receive high-quality careers education, information, and guidance from colleagues in the school and experts from other agencies.
