St Peter’s is in its final month of its 60th Anniversary year, or Diamond Jubilee.  It has been a year marked with various celebrations, such as St Peter’s Fest, a commemorative booklet for all pupils, the sale of jubilee merchandise, a Feast Day Mass, the opening of a school time capsule from 1989 and the burying of a new one to be opened in 2049. 

The year of special events sum up just what it is that makes St Peter’s so special.  Staff were creative and dedicated in how they helped the pupils to understand, appreciate and celebrate the anniversary, be that through work done in the classroom or behind the scenes.  Volunteers gave willingly of their time to create fun and memorable events that will live on warmly in children’s experience of St Peter’s. Links with our two local parishes remain strong, and the values with which we raise, educate and love the children in our care have remained constant over the 17 years I have been associated with the school (I was a parent of pupils long before taking on the Headship 8 years ago).  So, ahead of the season of Advent and the celebration of Christmas, I would like to express great thanks to the staff, volunteers, pupils and families who have made 2024, our Diamond Jubilee year, so special for St Peter’s.
