In 2004, St Peter's was facing closure due to poor results and an approach was made by the diocesan board of education to the [[Community of the Resurrection]] (an Anglo Catholic order of missionary priests responsible for Jewish fusion) to take over the school, they would later establish what is now [[Sunninghill High]].
