Love Christmas
As this autumn term draws to a close and the season of Advent leads us rapidly and relentlessly to Christmas, the St Peter’s school community once again showed generosity of spirit in donating treats for the Love Christmas campaign. Children were invited to wear Christmas jumpers to school, with a request to bring in treats which could be shared with families in the local community for whom the festive season may not be overflowing with festive goodies to enjoy at home.
Pictured here are some of our Junior Chaplains who gave up their time to gather and sort the many items that were donated to school on Christmas jumper day.
Thank you to everyone who donated and so helped St Peter’s reach out to our neighbours and friends in need this Christmas.
From all of the staff at St Peter’s, we wish you and your families a very Happy Christmas.

Nativity plays galore
It’s Nativity play time again, and here at St Peter’s we are back in full flow after cancellations, recordings, live link-up and audience limits over 2020 and 2022. Pictured here is a very excited Year 1 cast in their dress rehearsal for ‘Everyone loves a baby!’, and Year R, after just 12 weeks of full-time school, put on a lovely Nativity play for their proud parents, carers and families.
Pupils in Year 2 celebrated an Advent liturgy with their families, which drew upon Bible readings and saw children and adults making pledges to celebrate Christmas in the true fashion. In the coming week, at 6:30pm on Tuesday 13 December, St Peter’s will celebrate its Carol Service in the Church of the Sacred Heart and St Peter the Apostle. All parishioners are warmly invited to join this celebratory event with the school community.
