At St Peters CE Primary School provide a happy, nurturing and supportive environment founded on the principles of the Christian faith; helping to develop children’s spiritual growth and moral understanding. All members of our school community are valued and respected, so that everyone can have a positive attitude to themselves, others and life.

Our school’s Christian character contributes significantly to the academic achievement, personal development and well-being of all learners. Although we are a church school, we are inclusive to all members of the community we serve. Our aim is that pupils from all faiths and those without a faith feel safe and happy, secure in the knowledge that their beliefs are respected and valued.

Our children are inspired to share God’s love with each other through acts of service, living by Christ’s example. Their knowledge grows through hearing Bible stories in high-quality RE lessons and Collective Worship. At St Peter’s, we learn and play together, with high aspirations for all to become confident, life-long learners. We encourage everyone to show curiosity and perseverance  as they embrace the many opportunities offered during their time here.

As a school, we believe that every child (and adult) matters to God as they are made in God’s image and loved by him. We are therefore committed to each unique pupil achieving all they can and growing into the best version of themselves.

Inspired by our vision to love others, we aim to teach each child unique Christian values to equip them as they journey through St Peter’s and on into the wider world. This is demonstrated through our school motto:

Through the teachings of God we Love Others, Value Everyone!

We work hard towards ensuring that our values are at the heart of our school. Our values are informed by the values central to Christianity. We are ambitious and we want each member of the school to discover and realise their true potential in a Christian environment.

A distinctive Christian ethos runs through the school. All members of school feel supported, valued and a voice that is listened to. Our school is a place where relationships prosper; relationships within the whole community are important, not only amongst the staff and children but with the whole community.
