Happy half term, our first day back at school is on Tuesday, 24th February A very warm welcome to St. Peter's Academy! We are a friendly primary school offering a caring and supportive environment to all children from Chippenham and the surrounding villages.
It is a place where all pupils are valued and are encouraged to do their best, fulfill their potential and share their talents with others within a happy, relaxed atmosphere. We were delighted to receive an 'Good' inspection grade in our last SIAMS Church School inspection.
