Peterhouse - Words of Encouragement in Difficult Times
To all of our Peterhouse pupils, wherever you are, this video is to encourage you and let you know we are thinking of you and praying for you and your families. We know that for many of you, being in lockdown and isolation is very hard. It’s easy when you are working alone for days on end to become demotivated, anxious and lonely. It takes courage and great strength of character to remain positive and work productively.
Today we are reaching out to remind you that whilst it may seem like it, you are not alone.

Obviously, and with the current Covid situation, we are not in a position to make any call on these. Nevertheless, as soon as we receive information regarding a return to school, we will communicate it to you.
We are very aware that many families have felt the devastating impact of this third Covid wave. To all those in our Peterhouse family, currently wrestling with tragedy and illness, we extend our thoughts and prayers to you all. These are tough and uncertain times for many Peterhouse families.

Director of Academic Advancement 2021
Congratulations to Mrs Michelle Scott Elliot on being appointed Director of Academic Advancement, effective September 2021. This role will serve to provide strategic direction in the pursuance of a strong and robust academic programme at the Peterhouse Group. Given the significant shifts that have taken place in teaching spaces over the course of the last year there is, given the expansion of digital teaching, a need for the Group of Schools to re-evaluate our approach to Curriculum Development.
With this in mind, the post of Director of Academic Advancement has been created. This senior management post will offer the Group an opportunity to rigorously investigate best academic practice in an environment which is demanding greater levels of creativity and innovation.
