It gives me great pleasure as the Headteacher, to welcome you to the St Peter's R.C. Primary School website. St Peter's is a happy, thriving school family with a strong Catholic ethos. This permeates all areas of school life and is at the heart of our philosophy of education.
Our whole curriculum is rooted in a religious understanding of life, where the gospel values underpin our efforts to provide a quality education for all. In all that we do, we aim to create a happy and secure environment, where children want to come to school in the knowledge that they feel unique and valued as members of Gods family.
We aim to create aspirational targets for our children, increasing their potential for achievement in life, whilst holding on to their Christian values and duty to care for all in Gods world.
