Class Saints

At St Peter's, every class is named after a saint who inspires us to live out our faith each day. Our class saints provide wonderful examples of courage, kindness, service and trust in God. Throughout the year, children learn about the lives of their class saint, celebrate their feast day and reflect on how they can follow their example in school, at home and in the wider community.
