St Peter and St Paul Catholic Voluntary Academy is a mainstream, co-educational secondary school situated in Lincoln, for pupils aged 11-18. It has 550 children on its roll.
Founded in 1953, the school was the vision of Monsignor Atkinson, who wanted to provide a Catholic secondary education for the children in the parishes of Lincoln. St Peter and St Paul is now an academy with Catholicism at the heart of its identity. The school endeavours to develop students’ knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith and its teachings.
Our school is part of the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Multi-Academy Trust which brings together the 36 Catholic Primary and Secondary schools in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire. Our priority is to ensure the very best Catholic Education for all young people in our community, whatever their circumstances. We will achieve this together, through a strategic approach to sharing best practice, effective challenge and support from a central standards and performance team and opportunities for high quality Continuing Professional Development offered by the CMAT’s teaching school, The Nottingham Initial Teacher Training Hub.
Values and vision
St Peter and St Paul Catholic Voluntary Academy has an ethos that focuses on the uniqueness of the individual, the search for excellence, education of the whole person and moral principles. Christ is the foundation of everything it does, and the Gospels provide the secondary school with its influence and inspiration.
