St. Peter and St. Paul Catholic Primary School

Welcome to St. Peter and St Paul, a thriving Catholic primary school in the heart of Islington. We take a holistic approach to education which focuses on developing the whole child with Christ at the centre of all we do.
We are committed to the partnership of home, school and Parish and through all parties working together our children will be sure of success. Through this joint commitment we welcome new members to our school to grow and work in the love of Christ as we live out our mission statement ‘To love one another as I have loved you’.

Here at St Peter and St Paul we ensure your child will be encouraged, motivated and guided to ensure that they develop their natural gifts and talents whilst becoming confident, independent learners who know how to make informed decisions about the choices they make in life.

I am proud to be the Head Teacher of a thriving, learning community with supportive staff, governors and parents. If you would like your child to join our school and grow and learn in the love of Christ, please come and visit us. It is only by entering our school that you will see our Mission Statement in action.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) applies to children from birth to the end of the Reception year. At St Peter and St Paul children can join the Early Years the September after they are three years old and join Reception in the September after their fourth birthday.

St Peter and St Paul Early Years classes provide a happy and secure environment, with consistent routines, where the children can feel safe and explore rich and diverse learning opportunities. We aim to provide a sound foundation for lifelong learning, enabling the children to become increasingly independent and active learners for life.

We look to provide play-based teaching and learning experiences, indoors and outdoors, of the highest quality to excite children about learning and help them to make progress in their skills and knowledge.

The Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum is made up Prime and Specific learning areas.

Mission Statement

St Peter and St Paul is a thriving Catholic primary school in the heart of multi-cultural Islington, London. We work hard to deliver outstanding spiritual, moral and learning success with artistic and intellectual abilities for our diverse range of pupils.

Our code of ethics is firmly rooted in Gospel values and worship, supported by strong leadership and excellent teaching in a vibrant and friendly school. We actively encourage pupils throughout their learning journey to feel safe, secure and valued in an atmosphere of mutual love and respect. Our mission statement is simple: ‘Love one another’ and we ask that the children follow the values of the school which are Love, Truth, Forgiveness, Giving and Understanding.

Aim

We realise how important it is that our pupils benefit from and contribute to a high calibre Catholic education. We want our children to be happy in their faith and use their social and academic skills to enrich their own lives, plus that of their families and the wider community. To ensure that each child reaches their full potential, we regularly review and evaluate the achievements of our pupils and the school as a whole.

Mission statement

Every child is a unique creation of God. We actively encourage each child to reach their full potential by developing the Catholic faith, where each child feels cherished for their unique personal worth. Working closely together, we want to inspire and nurture every child within a happy, secure and stimulating, inclusive environment.

Our Catholic centred learning environment offers a broad and balanced curriculum where every child can feel secure and confident. We place much emphasis on self-confidence and self-esteem, so we nurture each pupil to become independent learners and always ready to face new challenges. Our aim is to instil a lifelong genuine love of learning and an aspiration for outstanding, personal achievement.
