In addition to fifteen class teachers, there is a team of pupil support workers, a support for learning teacher and specialist provision for art and drama.

Peel Primary School has earned a very good reputation within the community and is well supported by the parent council and the wider parent forum. The parent council works in close partnership with the school and provides support in identifying areas for improvement. There are well developed, supportive partnerships with local groups, businesses, community police, church and a local nursing home.
