Dear Parents and Children, Welcome to St Peter's.

I am delighted that you have chosen our school for your child.

St Peter’s is a great school. At St Peter’s the staff work hard to make our school a happy and exciting place. We strive to create an environment where all our children can know and love God. We believe that by developing a child’s skills and self-confidence, we create a culture that allows each child to develop to their full potential. Our constant focus on the progress of every child leads to excellent academic results.

We look forward to working with you to provide your child with the very best start in life.

With best wishes,

Lisa Kelly

Headteacher
