St Peter's Catholic Primary School

If your child is to join us soon, we hope that this will be the beginning of a very happy time for you and your child. If you already have a child at our school we are pleased to renew our acquaintance.

We firmly acknowledge the partnership that exists between the Home, School and Parish and actively strive to develop these links because we believe that the process of educating your child is one in which we share responsibility. Our Mission Statement defines our values and vision for our Catholic identity within our community; we are a learning establishment that ensures that the requirements of the National Curriculum are met and where each child’s Religious development and Faith is nurtured.

We provide regular information to you about school events and activities and there are frequent opportunities to discuss the progress your child is making at school. Our virtual school tour (found on the homepage) will give you greater detail on our school, but if there is anything you wish to know about, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We all acknowledge the very difficult and challenging circumstances we found ourselves in during the peak of the pandemic and now look forward to creating the warm and compassionate environment that will support the children in the coming weeks and months of the coming new school year. No one can underestimate the impact closing school so suddenly and for so long may have had on our children so we are planning ways in which we can ‘lever’ them back to be the engaging children and learners we know them to be.

• We aim to promote our Catholic identity by providing a strong community sense of spiritual, religious, social and moral development through a shared and taught understanding of God our Creator, Jesus our Friend and the Holy Spirit our Helper.
• We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum which is innovative, creative and relevant, uses up to date technology and develops the progression of skills, knowledge and experiences that will enable our pupils to become confident and independent learners who achieve their personal potential and become valued members of society.
• We aim to be fully inclusive and promote equal opportunities and appropriate challenge for all, through an understanding and awareness of gender, ability, social background, ethnicity and faith.
• We aim to inspire our learners to become informed, active, responsible citizens who understand, contribute and share an awareness of local, national and global issues.
• We aim to actively strengthen the partnership of the home, school and Parish, explore wider links with local business and organisations, build respect and understanding of others and learn from people around us.
