A New Chapter Begins at St Peter's Today, we began the phased return of students into our brand-new building, a significant milestone for our academy and wider community. Students in Years 7, 8 and 11 were among the first to tour the new spaces, exploring three floors of light, bright and thoughtfully designed teaching rooms, equipped with the latest technology and created with learning firmly at the centre. These specialist, future-focused facilities have been designed to support high-quality teaching and learning, providing an environment in which both students and staff can thrive and flourish. Seeing these spaces in use, just as they were intended, has been a proud moment for all involved. Alongside this, our dedicated Site Team have spent the Christmas break upgrading existing areas of the academy. D Block has been transformed, with the creation of new dance and drama studios that will further enrich our creative provision and support specialist learning. The next phase of the project will see the demolition of the former B, C and F blocks, followed by full landscaping of the site. This final stage will complete the transformation of our academy, with the entire programme due to be finished by August. This is about more than buildings. It is about community, opportunity and aspiration. As a flourishing school community, we remain committed to providing outstanding facilities that support the education and development of the children and young people of Wolverhampton. We look forward to welcoming the next groups of students and continuing this exciting journey together. #WeAreSPCA #FlourishingCommunities #Wolverhampton

On this Christmas Day, we send our warmest wishes to our students, families, staff and wider community. As we celebrate the birth of Christ, we reflect on the values that sit at the heart of our academy: love, compassion, service and hope. Christmas reminds us that even in the darkest moments, light breaks through, inviting us to live generously and to help one another flourish. "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." 1 Peter 4:8 May this day bring peace to your homes, joy to your hearts and time to pause, reflect and be thankful. We look forward to the year ahead, continuing to grow, serve and flourish together as one community. Merry Christmas from all of us at St Peter's Collegiate Academy.

This week marked the closing of a chapter in the St Peter's story, as B, C and F blocks were carefully packed away in preparation for the next stage of our rebuild. Over the past few days, staff, students and members of our wider community have paused to reflect, share memories and leave messages on the walls that have witnessed so many moments of growth, challenge and achievement. Classrooms were cleared, corridors echoed with stories, and familiar spaces became places of quiet reflection. School years stay with you for life. The friendships formed, the milestones reached, the lessons learned and the confidence built do not fade when the bell rings for the last time. Our buildings have held those moments for generations of students and staff. They are more than bricks and mortar. They are physical expressions of the people who passed through them, carrying their energy, laughter and perseverance. As we prepare to step into our new building in early January, we do so with excitement and purpose. Yet what makes St Peter's truly special has never been the walls that surround us: it is the sense of belonging. Belonging to something bigger than any one individual. A shared story. A flourishing community. That sense of belonging is woven deeply into our academy. Many of our staff once walked these same corridors as students themselves, choosing to continue their St Peter's journey long after leaving. That choice speaks volumes about the strength of our community and the values that shape it. Our older buildings will soon make way for something new, but the memories they hold live on. They move with us, carried by our students and staff into the next chapter, ready to flourish, guided by our values to respect, serve and aspire. Photographed here are members of staff who are former students, forever part of St Peter's story, from top of the stairs to the bottom: Mr Kumar (1991) Mrs Crust (1992) Mrs Lacey (1996) Mrs Rana (1998) Mrs Sidhu (2001) Miss Ridgeway (2005) Mr Asbridge (2007) Mr Gilhooly (2010) Mr Newbould-Smith (2013) Miss Doyle (2014) Mr Blair (2016) Miss Clark (2018) Mr Swinden (2020) Miss Carlyle (2020) Miss Williams (2025) We Are SPCA. #Belonging
