Admissions
St Peter’s Voluntary Catholic Academy is part of the St Cuthbert's Roman Catholic Academy Trust and within the Dioceses of Middlesbrough.
As a Voluntary Catholic Academy, the Trust we are part of is responsible for admissions. It is guided in that responsibility by the requirements of the law, by advice from the Diocesan Trustees and its duty to the Catholic community and the Common Good. The school provides a Catholic education for children in the heart of Scarborough, with priority being given to baptised Roman Catholic children living in the Scarborough parish of St George’s in Eastfield.
The school is of average size, with 210 pupils currently on roll.
The children are between the ages of 3 and 11 years old and are taught in single class year groups from Nursery to Year 6.
The planned admission number (PAN) is 30.
