St Peter's Church of England Aided School is one of Exeter's five state sector high schools.
The school was awarded language college status in 2002. The current headteacher of the school is Phil Randall.
The old school building was knocked down (September 2006). Since then, a new building managed by Carillion has been in use. Carillion was then taken over by Sodexo in 2015 for a 5-year contract.
The school was formed by the amalgamation of Hele's School and Bishop Blackall School in 1983.
