The staff and pupils at St Peter’s Catholic Primary School wish you all a Happy Easter.

Once again this year the pupils and families of St Peter’s have rallied to donate Easter Eggs to Stella Maris to pass onto international seafarers who will be in Portsmouth and Southampton at Easter. 

Pictured here behind well over 250 chocolate eggs are Mr Cunningham, Headteacher, Annabelle, Noah and Blossom, and Patrick Binks.  Patrick visits ships in Portsmouth through his work for Stella Maris, and will be one of several people who will deliver these seasonal treats along with faith materials to seafarers who themselves are far from home and family this Easter. 

Thank to everyone who donated Easter Eggs, and who trusted me to keep them all untouched in my office until they were collected!

Well done to all of the staff (pictured above) and pupils at St Peter’s for joining in with World Book Day on Thursday 7th March 2024. We are proud to be a school that continues to promote reading, with weekly library lessons, regular opportunities for pupils to borrow books to read at home, and daily class novel readings by teachers.

The 60 children in our two Reception Classes had a great day of outdoor learning this week thanks to Portsmouth Forest School.  Using our large school field, different learning stations were set up for the children to experience an alternative curriculum.  

The girls and boys made pine cone bird feeders using lard and seeds, wooden necklaces and nature art, and even toasted marshmallows on a real camp fire.  To add to the outdoors feel, all the recent rain meant that the field was really pretty muddy and squelchy in places, so wellies were definitely the order of the day for the children.  Thankfully the rain held off, and a great learning time was had by all.

Well done to all the pupils at St Peter’s on their excellent attendance between September ands December 2023. Not only are we in the top 10% of English Primary Schools for attendance in the autumn term, but at 96.4% attendance, St Peter’s is currently 1.8% above the national average attendance rate for the school year to date.

Thank you to all parents and carers for your commitment to the school and to your children’s education, progress and development at St Peter’s.
