Welcome to our school

Happy Birthday to Duddon St. Peter's CE School!

On Saturday 17th May our school will be celebrating the day that the school was opened on this site in 1875.
From 1.00 - 5.00pm on that day, we invite past pupils, staff and families to join our celebration and enjoy some free events and a BBQ.
Please come along and join us!

Duddon St. Peter's School is a small primary school, nestling in the Cheshire countryside. We have a happy and caring environment where children are given a warm welcome. Our hope is that each child in the school will have an opportunity to achieve their full potential. Our school is fully committed to providing a safe environment for all children to learn in and safeguarding is a high priority.

The school was founded in 1875 by the Church of England. We value the long tradition of providing education here and work from a Christian base which is reflected in all that we do. Close ties exist between the school, St. Peter's Church and the local community. Our aim is to create an environment where children quickly settle and achieve their best in all that they do.

Treetops is our Foundation Stage Unit, based at Duddon St. Peter's and takes pre-school children from the age of three, alongside our Reception class.

'Pupils love coming to this small, village school.....they enjoy their lessons,
show high levels of engagement and aim to do their best.'

'Parents and carers appreciate the strong relationships that have been built with school staff.
They feel that the school brings out the best in their children.'

Our Ofsted Inspection Report in January 2025 judged the school to be 'Good' in all areas.
