History

St Peter's traces its origins back to a British School, established in 1871 on Grammar School Walk in the town centre. [2] This school relocated to a new building at Brookside, built in 1905, and was known as Brookside School. [3] In 1957 the school moved to its current site on St Peter's Road, opening as a secondary modern school. It later became a comprehensive school. In 2005 the school was granted specialist status as a Mathematics and Computing College.

Previously a foundation school administered by Cambridgeshire County Council, in August 2011 St Peter's School converted to academy status and is now sponsored by The Cam Academy Trust. [4]
