The Catholic Life of our school

Catholic Life

The Bishop's vision for Catholic Education and the Gospel Values are central to life at St Peter's. They can be seen clearly in the way that we treat each other and the importance that we place on strong, caring relationships. High expectations of, and aspirations for, each other are vital in ensuring that everyone in our school community becomes the absolute best that they can be. As a Catholic school, we aim for everyone to reach their true potential, not only academically, but also spiritually, socially and emotionally.

Everything that happens at St Peter’s Primary School is formed by our faith. Our aims and relationships, our curriculum, pastoral care and behaviour policy all have the potential to speak of God’s loving care for each individual.

Pupil’s spiritual development is fundamental and is the foundation of our school. Religious Education is not just a subject but part of everyday life.

The assemblies and school Masses are important occasions where the children may experience shared prayer and worship and encounter the presence of God.

Different classes take it in turns to read and lead prayers, preparing for these occasions with enthusiasm.
