Together, we have faced challenges, celebrated successes, and most importantly, lived out the values of kindness, respect, and faith that define our school community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our pupils have grown in so many ways, not just academically but in their personal and spiritual development. From the wonderful Masses, Celebrations of the Word and prayers that have deepened our connection to God, to the school Nativity plays, sports days, the Year 6 production and charity events that have brought us together in celebration, this year has been filled with moments to treasure.\u00a0 Of course, our very best wishes for the future go to our Year 6 pupils for whom their time at St Peter&#8217;s has now come to an end.\u00a0 Good luck to you all in the months, years and many adventures that lie ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations to our award winners below on their achievements this year.<br>Early Years Governors Award = Jenson<br>Key Stage 1 Governors Award = Emma<br>Key Stage 2 Governors Award = Caelen<br>Sportsman of the Year = Mason<br>Sportswoman of the Year = Neve<br>Performer of the Year = Bella<br>Sports Day Winners = St Oscar Romero<br>House Cup Winners = St Oscar Romero<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"830\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/headteacher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/07\/Award-winners-2025-1024x830.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/headteacher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/07\/Award-winners-2025-1024x830.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/headteacher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/07\/Award-winners-2025-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/headteacher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/07\/Award-winners-2025-768x623.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/headteacher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/07\/Award-winners-2025-1536x1246.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/headteacher\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/07\/Award-winners-2025-2048x1661.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I would like to take this opportunity to thank our dedicated teaching and support staff throughout the whole school for their unwavering commitment and care for the children in their charge.
