At St Peter's Jesus is our role model. I am delighted to welcome you to St Peter's Catholic Primary School. I hope this website gives you a flavour of life at St Peter's and paints a picture of all the wonderful things we do at school.
Within our school, we seek to create a happy, friendly, and supportive environment, where every child can develop spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, and socially. It is the aim of everyone in our school to help the children grow in their journey of faith, with the Gospel values at the centre of everything we do.
By providing a range of exciting opportunities and experiences within our broad and balanced curriculum, children are encouraged to aim for the highest possible standards. Our team of dedicated staff play an integral role in fostering a family atmosphere, where children feel secure and can thrive.
This, combined with excellent teaching and high expectations of behaviour, provides a solid foundation for children of all abilities to make progress.
