Arts and Sports College Status
St. Peter's School gained Arts College status in September 2000 and in September 2004 gained dual specialist status in Arts and Sport.
One of the highlights of the school's Arts College status was being shortlisted for the Sky1 programme Hairspray: The School Musical. Although the school did not win, losing to Kingsmead School in Enfield, various performing arts students spent a week being interviewed by the shows hosts and performing for them.
