Join our caring and aspirational high school community in the north west
Saints Peter and Paul Catholic High School in Widnes (or ‘P and P’ as it’s known locally) was established in 1994 when the former Saints Fisher and Moore and Saint Joseph’s High Schools combined.
Since then, our school has become one of the highest attaining secondary schools in the borough of Halton and is a popular choice of high school for families across Widnes, Runcorn, and the surrounding areas of Liverpool and Warrington.
We are committed to delivering our vision of creating an inclusive community of excellence and opportunity.
Our dedicated team of teachers and associate staff ensure we continuously raise standards in learning, behaviour, and every aspect of teaching, embodied in our school values of:
- Compassion
- Respect
- Aspiration
A 'good' school with ambition
In July 2022, we were delighted to be once again awarded ‘Good’ status by Ofsted. During this inspection, we received exceptional praise over the quality of teaching in our school, the pastoral support we provide to our children, and our ambitious subject curriculum.

Leading the way in the north west
A National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM), our Mathematics faculty is an established hub of best practice in the north west, providing education and support for teaching partners across Cheshire and Wirral.
Development opportunities
Working in close partnership with the Wigan and West Lancashire Catholic School District, we support prospective teaching trainees through a range of opportunities including teaching internships and the Train to Teach programme.
About Widnes
Sitting in the north west of England, Widnes is a growing town in the north of Cheshire with lots of character and a rich history of industry and rugby achievements.
It’s excellent location means it’s just a thirty minute drive to the bustling heart of Liverpool and 20 miles away from Manchester, perfect for those who want to explore these exciting city centres from an easily accessible and central base. For those looking to experience the great outdoors, the coastline of North Wales is less than an hour away, and the Lake District is less than two.
Our school is just a short walk from the town centre, filled with popular eateries and coffee shops. There’s also plenty to keep you occupied in and around town, from walks along the River Mersey to Pickering’s Pasture nature reserve and relaxing in beautiful Victoria Park, to visiting the cinema, ice rink, Catalyst science museum and the famed Spike Island.
