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.

Mission
The Mission Statement At St. Peter’s Catholic Primary School our mission is, "Like St. Peter we know and love God our Creator, Jesus our Friend and the Holy Spirit our Helper."
We focus on placing Christ at the center of school life while ensuring every child receives a holistic, well-rounded education. "We celebrate the joy of learning and playing together, growing as indivduals and as a loving community."
Retreats and Visits
Infant children are invited to visit St Edward’s Church for a tour of the church led by Fr Dominic to explore an RE theme and an opportunity for prayer. Junior children engage in a programme of visits to the Synogogue and Mosque to enhance their understanding of our Other Faith programme as part of our RE.
Year 5 pupils are invited to attend a residential retreat experience in the summer term led by the Brentwood Youth Service. It is an opportunity for personal prayer, reflection and a group bonding experience to discover each other’s gifts and talents through prayer, drama and singing and is always well attended. All children are invited to attend the school Prayer Garden.
