There was cause for celebration and congratulations at St Peter’s Catholic Primary School this week as we were officially awarded the Developer Level (level 2 of 3) of the Romero Award.  The Oscar Romero Award supports schools in realising and living the unique calling of a Catholic school to empower young people, and all who work in the school, to become true agents of the change they want to see in the world by putting their faith into action.  Young people have a very strong sense of justice and fairness, and are constantly seeking to be supported and encouraged in their effort to bring about a fairer society that recognises the human rights of all.  St Peter’s is only the 4th school nationally to achieve Developer Level of the Romero Award, with the school’s work in making Catholic Social Teaching explicit and recognisable being highly commended by the validators.  Thanks go to all the pupils and staff at St Peter’s, and especially Mrs Pike who led our award project, for their effort towards this achievement over time.
