Our Vision and Values
Our Vision
At St Peter's, we aspire to be a community where every child flourishes in faith, learning and life. Inspired by Christ and guided by Gospel values, we seek to nurture confident, compassionate and resilient young people who recognise their unique gifts, strive for excellence and use their talents in the service of others. Through a shared commitment to high expectations, strong relationships and a love of learning, we aim to prepare our children to make a positive difference in the world.
Our Mission
Our Mission statement underpins every aspect of day-to-day life in our school community. We aim to be a living, loving and faithful community which is inspired by the life of Christ and the teachings of the Church, rooted in Gospel values. To help achieve these aims, our school offers a happy, safe and welcoming atmosphere where every child is loved, valued and encouraged on their journey through life.
Our Ethos
At St Peter's Catholic Primary School, Christ is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our Catholic faith and Gospel values, we provide a caring and inclusive environment where every child is known, valued and supported to flourish.
We believe that each child is uniquely created in the image of God and encourage them to develop their gifts, talents and character. Through prayer, worship and daily life, we nurture faith, foster positive relationships and inspire children to act with kindness, compassion, respect and service to others.
Working in partnership with families, our parish and the wider community, we strive to provide an education that nurtures the academic, spiritual, social and emotional development of every child, enabling them to live, learn and grow in God's love.
