St Peters Collegiate School

Used to go to this church when I lived in W’ton and remember the creepy vicar, church transferred him to this school. He offered to counsel me after I split from my partner, seemed pleasant and helpfuly arranged an after-​work appointment at his house. Thought it was strange when he asked what me and my ex used to do in bed, penny dropped when he invited me to stay the night told him to get lost and left.
Amateur response from church staff, claimed he was basically harmless then said church protection policies don’t apply to over-​18s. Perhaps he can only work in places with an under-​18s protection policy!

Our daughter did well at this school. The teaching and exam preparation were excellent and she obtained good A level results and has successfully completed her second year at university. In common with many church schools, however, staff can at times be naïve. One of the vicars at the church spent a lot of time flirting with young women, contriving to be alone with them in the church and at his home. When I raised my concerns with a church volunteer, I was curtly dismissed. Our daughter felt uncomfortable around him, so we suggested techniques for refusing unwelcome requests, and ensured she was collected promptly after church services and music events. Parents in a similar situation may wish to consider these strategies.
