St Peter’s School is proud to provide a small and independent learning environment for boys and girls from the town of Market Harborough. Established in 1946, we are a co-educational preparatory day school and preschool that accepts pupils from the term in which they turn 3 years old until they reach 11 years of age.

Our modern educational facilities are situated within the charming Victorian building and grounds, once the family home of local philanthropist and businessman William Timpson. All students are empowered to take an active role in their community, guided by our nurturing staff who create a welcoming, family-like atmosphere where every child feels valued.

Preschool

At Sunnylands preschool, children will feel inspired to learn and play within spacious rooms, an outdoor covered classroom and outdoor space which creates the perfect setting for children to flourish. With the skilled guidance of our experienced staff, children develop important behaviours and social skills such as good manners, sharing, friendship-building, and independence.

We warmly invite you to visit us and see for yourself the happy and nurturing environment which would encompass your child. Please contact us to speak to our preschool Manager to discuss further.

In the Lower School for Reception and pupils in Years 1 and 2 (Key Stage One), a strong focus is placed on English and Maths, taught by class teachers along with other core subjects such as Science, Geography, History, Art & Design, RE, and PSHE.
