Quotes from current and former staff
A great place to work with highly dedicated staff who often go above and beyond for our pupils.
I am proud to work for an organisation that provides young people the opportunity to be the best version of themselves, teaching life skills that set them up to be successful adults.
I love my role at Peterhouse and I am so proud of our pupils and all their fabulous achievements.
I enjoy coming to work and feel proud to be part of this team.
I am very proud to work at this school. It can be challenging, but the work we all put in everyday to support each individual is definitely something to be proud of!!
I have learnt so much from school and every day, even the challenging ones, I couldn’t wish for any other job. Witnessing some amazing journeys along the way. I’ll be forever grateful for the opportunities Peterhouse has given me.
I have learnt so much from families, young people and colleagues. It has grown and changed so much since 1995 when I first walked through those doors but what a wonderful place it is. Our students really do grow into successful adults with autism. We are so proud of each and every one.
I have never worked anywhere that felt quite like Peterhouse it was always more than a school it was a family.
