Conveniently located near Chalkwell Park and within easy reach of Southend, Westcliff, and surrounding Essex areas, our school has been providing exceptional education for generations of local families.
We are proud to be a small, nurturing private school where every child is truly known as an individual.

Our pupils achieve outstanding results in local and regional tournaments, reflecting the talent, teamwork, and determination fostered within our school community.
When it comes to preparing children for the future, our academic record speaks for itself. We are renowned for our excellent 11+ preparation and boast some of the highest 11 Plus pass rates in Essex, with many of our pupils successfully securing places at leading grammar schools and selective independent schools in the area.
Above all, Saint Pierre School places great importance on traditional values. We set high expectations for good manners, kindness, respect, and behaviour, ensuring that our pupils not only leave us academically prepared but also as confident, considerate, and well-rounded young people.
