We are deeply saddened by the devastating news of the Air India plane crash reported on 12 June 2025, remembering the victims and all those affected in our prayers.  We understand this will be a distressing time for those affected by this disaster, especially for those in the St Peter’s community who share a rich Indian heritage and cultural background.  If any families or pupils are in need of emotional support having been affected by the plane crash, we have support services in school to help anyone who asks.

Earlier in the week we received a message from Father James with the sad news that Father Gerard Flynn of St Michaels and All Angels parish in Leigh Park died on Tuesday 10 June 2025. He had been ill for some time and was under medical care, but his passing has still come as a great shock to the Catholic community in our area. Father Gerard was a devoted and faithful servant to the local Catholic school communities, celebrating many masses and bringing with him a presence, wisdom, and kindness that will be deeply missed. Please remember him in your prayers.

Returning from their half-term break, pupils at St Peter’s celebrated a special liturgy to mark the Feast of the Ascension. Having taken part in the recent vote, the children are very excited to find out about the name of the new parish which will be announced at the Pentecost One Mass Sunday on 8 June. Meanwhile, Year 6 have started rehearsals for the end of year production of Mary Poppins details of ticket sales will be published soon.
