Description

St Peter's RC Primary School is a Catholic primary school in Aberdeen, Scotland that was established in 1833. Its Head Teacher is Mrs Jo Martin and the school educates around 250 pupils in ten classes. Half the pupils are taught English as a foreign language.HistorySt Peter's RC Primary School was founded on 10 April 1833, on Aberdeen's Constitution Street, by Father Charles Gordon who was the parish priest of the local St Peter's Church. A statue in his honour is in the school's front garden. The statue was created in 1859 by the sculptor Alexander Brodie (1829-1867). The school was linked to St Mary's Cathedral when it was opened in 1860.A few years after the First World War the school moved to a new building on Nelson Street, which was a suitable location due to the high number of Catholics living in the area at the time. The school moved to its present premises at Dunbar Street in 1983.The council decided, during the 70's, that St Peter's pupils could obtain religious education at Linksfield Academy, when they decided to close the secondary school, and leave it primary school only.The school has been part of the Eco-Schools project since September 2004.In 2006 a controversial proposal to move the school to the site of St Machar Primary school was rejected after a campaign that included public meetings and a Freedom of Information request to establish the reason for the move.
