Several other pupils secured top ten spots within the school, showing fantastic enthusiasm for language learning. Well done to all who took part, your hard work and competitive spirit were inspiring! #LanguageNut #StPetersLanguages #TopOfTheClass #MultilingualMagic #ProudToBeStPeters
A Picture-Perfect School Day There's something truly special about a school where chess matches break out at playtime, and children are free to explore, imagine and unwind. At St Peter's, our pupils enjoy the freedom to follow their own curiosities, whether that's a quiet game under the trees, an adventure in the woods, or simply soaking up the calm in one of the many tranquil corners of our beautiful grounds. This is childhood as it should be – balanced, inspiring and full of possibility. #StPetersLife #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #ChessAtPlaytime #IdyllicSchoolDays #LetThemPlay
