St Peter's Court

St Peter's Court was a prep school for boys at Broadstairs in Kent, U.K. In 1969 it merged with the nearby Wellesley House School and its site was redeveloped for housing.
==History==
The school was established during the 19th century and came to prominence in the early 20th century when it was chosen by the Prince of Wales (later King George V) for his younger sons. During the Second World War it was evacuated to Shobrooke House, near Crediton in Devon,〔Cyril Cunningham, ''Beaulieu: Finishing School for Secret Agents'' (2005, ISBN 1844153126), p. xi〕 and its head master, F. G. Ridgeway, predicted that after the war many preparatory schools would not survive much longer.〔Donald P. Leinster-Mackay, ''The Rise of the English Prep School'' (1984)〕 In the event, the move to Devon had one alarming result. At 4 a.m. on 23 January 1945, while occupied by some seventy St Peter's schoolboys and staff, Shobrooke House caught fire and was almost completely destroyed, with the death of two of the boys.〔(Potpourri ), from ''Exeter Express & Echo'' newspaper dated 23 January 1945, accessed 6 January 2015.〕
After the end of the war the school returned to Broadstairs and was able to continue for many more years. In 1954 it had two joint head masters, the Rev. F. G. Ridgeway and C. C. Ridgeway, M.A., the number of boys was stated as 70 to 80, and there were ten teaching staff ("seven resident masters and three ladies").〔''The Public and Preparatory Schools Year Book 1954'', p. 643〕 In 1969 the school merged with another Broadstairs prep school, Wellesley House.
The school had its own Eton Fives court,〔(Lord Kingsdown, a tribute ) at fivesonline.net, accessed 6 January 2015〕 and many of its boys were prepared for Eton. The writer Simon Raven later recalled that "St Peter's Court was once a very smart private school, much patronised by the Royal family."〔Simon Raven, ''Alms for Oblivion'' (2012 edition), p. 30〕
