Welcome to
St Peter's
Welcome to St. Peter's CE Primary Academy. We are one of a number of brand new schools to have opened in September 2018. We began life in our custom built facility with three teachers, three teaching assistants and three classrooms. The vision and experience of our small staff made the mammoth undertaking of opening a new school extremely positive. Indeed, we have already grown to 14 classes and pupil numbers are closing in on the final capacity of the building: 420. For prospective parents, our pupil outcomes and OFSTED report are well worth a read. We are proud of them all. The best indicator of our success, however, is the happy and settled children who are already engaging well with the broad and challenging curriculum at St. Peter's.

Christmas at St. Peter's and it's been the best yet! #community #teamworkmakesthedreamwork
Year 4, 5 and 6 have had a fantastic UK Parliament Week exploring how Parliament works and the roles of MPs. Our pupil prime minster campaign is well underway, with manifestos displayed around the school and enthusiastic campaigning from all candidates. We were also delighted to welcome our local MP @johnglenuk who spoke about his role and took questions from Year 5 and 6. Polling day takes place on Tuesday so we have a couple of days of campaigning left!
Ask your child if they would like to start a graduate scheme project.
At St Peter's, we LOVE to read for pleasure. From Year 4 upwards, children who read four times a week and bring in their reading records earn a special token to choose a book from our very own book vending machine! #readingforpleasure #readingrocks
Year 4 had a fantastic time at The Living Rainforest last week. It was the perfect way to kick off our new geography topic! HUGE thanks to @ahuviphoto for joining us and taking these beautiful photos!
At St. Peter's we are passionate about engaging parents. One way we do this is by offering an extensive programme of parent workshops to enhance our curriculum
It's Science Week at St Peter's! From exploring animals and body parts in year 1 to investigating the circulatory system in year 6, the school has been full of curiosity, discovery and "wow" moments!
Year 6 enjoyed a day at the British Museum getting to see all their learning about Benin come to life. They had a talk all about what life was like during the Kingdom and how the Oba ruled his people. Then, they got to see the actual artefacts they've been looking at all term on display. It was a long day of travel but worth it for the experience!
We are running tours for potential new parents over the next few months! We'd love to show you around our school.
Year 6 had an unforgettable time away with @landandwave on their long-awaited residential. With perfect weather and plenty of sunshine, they threw themselves into swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking and so much more! They've returned with amazing memories, tanned faces and definitely some sleep to catch up on
Year 4 had a very special visit from @tamaraillustration this morning, who showed us how to bring our own mythical creatures to life using water colours and fine liners
