iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).At St Peter's we all strive to be 'The Good Soil' that Jesus spoke about in the parable of 'The Sower' Mark 4: 1-20. Through the Christian values that Jesus taught us 'We learn, love and grow together' as a community, bearing witness to and sharing the word of God.
We provide a safe, secure, stimulating Christian environment where all our children feel happy and valued as individuals, where they can learn to the best of their abilities, and reach their full potential.
We will do all we can to ensure that the years spent at our school are as happy and fruitful as possible and that the whole family will benefit from being members of the community of St Peter's Church of England Primary School. We hope that you find our website interesting and informative.
