The School

St. Peter’s School serves the Catholic community in Solihull and was formed in 1974 from the merger of Olton Court Convent (founded 1903) and Bishop Glancey High School (founded 1965). The Sixth Form opened in September 1994. The School is a co-educational 11-18 Voluntary Aided Catholic Comprehensive School within the Birmingham Archdiocese and within the boundary of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull. The surroundings of St. Peter’s are largely residential, being situated on the south-west side of Solihull standing on the edge of large parkland. The excellent amenities offered by Solihull, the City of Birmingham or the large open countryside of the Warwickshire Green Belt are not far away. St. Peter’s draws its pupils mostly from the five main partner Primary Schools on the south side of the Borough of Solihull. For a number of years we have been heavily oversubscribed; there are currently approximately 1260 pupils on roll, including 260 in the Sixth Form.
