Welcome to St Peter's
The Goldfinch Trust
We are thrilled to share that St Peter's Centre has officially joined Maudsley & Bethlem Hospital School (MBHS) in the formation of The Goldfinch Trust — a newly launched multi-academy trust with a powerful and purposeful mission.
The Goldfinch Trust formally established in September 2025, brings together three highly specialist settings Maudsley & Bethlem Hospital School (MBHS), Kings College Hospital School (KCHS), and St Peter’s Centre, united by a shared belief: that every child, regardless of their medical complexity or personal challenges, deserves access to exceptional education.
This partnership marks a significant step forward in our commitment to inclusive, high-quality education, tailored to individual needs. Together, we aim to create transformative learning environments where every child is seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting journey.
I am very proud to be the Headteacher at St Peter’s Centre. We are a short stay school for students with medical needs. We are a unique school with a talented, caring and committed staff. We are a small school with big ambition for our students.
Our vision statement is “Working Together to Nurture and Challenge”. We nurture students to ensure their well-being and health needs are met and challenge them to build resilience, courage and determination to achieve the best possible outcomes.
St Peter’s Centre offers a short stay provision to help students build resilience, re-engage with learning and make rapid progress both personally and academically. We challenge our students to rekindle or create future aspirations and work with them to plan out the journey, step by step, to get there.
Our aim is that students return to school as soon as possible and work with students, families, health colleagues and other professionals to ensure the necessary plan and support is in place to do so. We work closely with home schools to ensure students feel part of both communities. Our aim is also that every second spent at St Peter's improves life chances.
Our Centre is a haven of kindness and respect for others in our school and local community. We share with students our expectations for acceptance and generosity towards other people, whoever they are, wherever they come from and whatever path they choose moving forward. I am proud that both staff and students seek out opportunities to help and support eachother and to take part in activities that focus on helping others.
St Peter’s Centre has a legacy of excellent outcomes for students through a nurturing yet challenging curriculum. I am so very proud that our little school has such big ambition for students. At St Peter’s Centre, education and well-being is truly a team sport.
