Our Mission Statement

At St Peter’s, we are a child-centered community based on a firm faith foundation with God at the heart of all we do. We aim to nurture, challenge and inspire our children to flourish in all aspects of school life and to go on to be lifelong learners with a strong Christian ethos and British values which they will then cherish and demonstrate as productive citizens in the wider community. 

Our Vision and Values

Our school vision for the children and adults of St Peter’s Primary School is ‘Growing well together’, all based on the Parable of the Sower found in Mark’s gospel.

The Parable of the Sower

In the parable a man went out to sow grain, the man represents God and the seed is His message. Just as a planted seed starts to grow, the word of God starts to deepen and grow within a person. This parable guides us in developing strong roots and flourishing into individuals who make a positive impact, just as the good soil in the Parable of the Sower allowed the seed to thrive.

Our school values are: directly linked to our GROW model.

Nurturing our gifts and talents
● Just as good soil allows a seed to grow and produce, we should nurture our gifts and talents, allowing them to flourish and be a source of good.

Resilience
● Being resilient means having a deep-rooted faith that allows us to persevere and not give up when the going gets tough.

Kindness
● Practicing kindness is a way to ensure our lives are not choked by these “thorns,” allowing God’s message to grow instead.

Wonder
● A small seed, can take root and grow exponentially within a person leading them t0 see the capacity for growth in one another.

Our Ambition as a School

• Deliver exceptional education by offering a broad and balanced curriculum tailored to our diverse pupil community, enabling all students to achieve high standards.
• Instil Christian and British values, preparing our pupils for life in modern Britain by fostering an appreciation of these principles and their practical application.
• Encourage ambition and personal aspirations, helping pupils understand the far-reaching benefits of their education and inspiring them to aim high.

These goals align with NEAT Academy Trust’s values of being aspirational, collaborative, inclusive, innovative and responsible, guiding us in nurturing, educating, achieving and transforming our pupils’ lives.

Diversity and Inclusion

At St Peter’s CofE Primary School, we are dedicated to fostering a positive, stimulating and joyful environment where every member of our community can develop their skills and flourish. We are committed to ensuring that everyone is treated fairly, justly and with respect in all aspects of school life.

We celebrate diversity and take pride in cultivating an environment where our staff, pupils, governors, parents and stakeholders have the freedom to be themselves without judgment or discrimination. We expect all members of our community to uphold these values at all times.

Our approach aligns with the principles outlined in the Equality Act 2010, ensuring protection from discrimination, harassment and victimisation on the grounds of specific characteristics.

By embracing these principles, we aim to create an inclusive and supportive atmosphere that reflects the diversity of the country we serve.
