Catholic Life
Here at St Peter’s we are proud witnesses to Christ being the centre of all that we do. We are committed to being part of the mission of the Church to educate our children in the Catholic faith
The Headteacher, staff and governors firmly believe that the whole school environment, the curriculum, its policies, our relationships and the ways in which we work with one another in our community supports the provision of an outstanding Catholic Life at St Peter’s Catholic Primary School.
We actively support family life in the occasions and events of the school and together with the Parish of St Edward the Confessor and the active work of the PA we nurture our children in the Catholic faith and sustain our Catholic Identity.

"We celebrate the joy of learning and playing together, growing as individuals and as a loving community."

Our PSHE and Health Education programme is taught using the Jigsaw programme.
Behaviour, Conduct and Attitudes
The children tell us that they enjoy school and are happy and resilient. From a very early age, children are able to describe ‘what is special’ about St Peter’s when new children and visitors come to the school. Surveys tell us that they see St Peter’s as a good school in which everyone is friendly to each other. Children say that they like their lessons, the frequency of themed days and special events and this contributes to them becoming joyful, happy children who conduct themselves well. They value and respect others and enjoy congratulating each other on their successes and achievements. Their very good attitudes to school life supports them in recognising the capacity to praise, give thanks and the need at times to say sorry and ask forgiveness.
