A warm welcome to St. Peter’s Church of England Junior School - a place for learning and living ‘Life in all its Fullness’. We are a two form entry junior school, situated in the heart of Farnborough and located within the grounds of St. Peter’s Church. We are immensely proud of our beautiful Grade 2 listed building, similar to that of a National Trust property! Our historic building and stunning grounds provide the perfect base for curriculum adventures, beautiful learning and character growth. We have high aspirations for all our children and strive to provide a wide range of opportunities and memorable experiences. We are proud of our community links and warm family feel - a place where all children are known and nurtured.

St Peter’s Church of England Junior School is a special place to grow with 'Learning and Living - Life in all its Fullness’ at the very heart of all we do. Our school motto ‘Learn to Live’ was founded in 1962 when moving into our historic building, formerly the Manor House of Farnborough and best known as Farnborough Place. Until 1903, Farnborough Place had been the residence of the Lords of the Manor for nearly 300 years. The Manor of Farnborough was first left in the will of King Alfred in 901 and a residence of importance has stood on the present site since the reign of King John. Just as our beautiful building has adapted over the years, our school vision has also evolved. 

Our Christian vision is inspired by John 10:10:

‘I have come that they may have life, life in all its fullness’. 

In celebration of the loving gift of life, which we believe that Jesus offers to all in abundance, we strive to ‘Learn and Live - Life in all its Fullness’. As members of St. Peter’s school, we are encouraged by the lessons we see in the life and learning of St. Peter, who challenges us to extend fullness of life to our local and global community as we seek to ‘use whatever gift you have received to serve others’ (1 Peter 4:10).

We feel so fortunate to share the same grounds as St. Peter’s Church; two historic buildings, side by side – a reflection of our special partnership and our community ethos. Both buildings enabling us to learn and live 'life in all its fullness'. We have visitors in from the church regularly – working with children, helping around school and leading assemblies. Our children also visit the church regularly, including opportunities to reflect, pray and celebrate. The church brings us together as a school wide family, including special events such as the Year 3 Welcome Service and our Year 6 Leavers Service.

Above all, we take great pride in being a school in our church community - using our gifts to serve others, as inspired by St. Peter. 

Community Outreach

Our children regularly join the ‘meet and eat’ group at St. Peter’s Church - a lovely partnership between young and old. The above pictures show our school council sharing their work and learning - capturing the rich engagement and valuable interaction this special link provides.
