The academy is located close to St Peter’s Parish Church and is a member of the Staffordshire University Academies Trust (SUAT) and Diocese of Lichfield.
We share Executive Leadership and Local Academy Council with St Augustine’s CE Academy, Draycott in the Clay and All Saints CE Academy, Denstone. The children benefit from shared activities, sports fixures and educational visits.
Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes and always continues strong.
(1 Corinthians 13:7)
Our vision as The Saints Academies builds on our Christian foundations. We celebrate the individuality and uniqueness of everyone within The Saints and wider communities, living God’s love through our chosen Christian Values. We strive for every child to be resilient, adaptable and to flourish in a rapidly changing world through the delivery of an inspiring, holistic and innovative approach to teaching and learning.
We are proud to be a loving and nurturing family. We aim to create a safe environment where all can flourish academically and spiritually. Through our exciting curriculum learning becomes fun. We celebrate each others successes. This is all underpinned by a love of ourselves, our community and the wider world.
Our vision lived out – Quotes from the children:
“School is my home away from home.”

“Everyone is kind and caring.”
“At school I feel happy and safe.”
Quotes from parents:
“Both my children adore school and are so happy there.”
“The work in school, the home learning and online lessons, the care shown not only to the children but to us is truly appreciated.”
“Words fail me when I try to express how grateful I am for the care and kindness with which you have all helped me raise my children. You have a wonderful school simply because you have incredible staff. My children have thrived with you and for that I will always be thankful.”
“We will always remember her best school days with you all at St Peter’s. You are her true heroes. Every child is lucky to be cared for by you. Your school is wonderful.”
From a grandparent: “As a grandma and retired teacher, I see different things to parents and can only say that moving my grandchildren to St Peter’s was the best thing they ever did. Great school, made by great staff.”
We know and understand that:
Love thy neighbour as thyself. (Mark 12:31)
