Our School Prayer
St Peter’s RC Primary is a school where the Christian ethos underpins all that we do. “The school has a strong and caring ethos where children are encouraged and enabled to become the best they can be”. S48 (March 2015):
St Peter’s RC was rated as Good in the S48 section (March 2015) and demonstrated aspects of outstanding. We live and work by our Christian values and they underpin all relationships within the school and its community. These encourage community spirit and provide children with the guidance to develop a moral compass based on the teachings of Jesus, within themselves and to act as fine, young citizens. Our school Christian ethos shines through all that we do and it is integral to the culture at St Peters.
