School Open - Tuesday 26th January 2021
St Peter's School and Sunnylands Nursery will be open for nursery children, the children of critical workers and vulnerable children. The weather conditions and roads still remain hazardous and I would encourage you not to make the journey to school unless it is absolutely necessary. Please take care when driving along the Crescent and other minor roads. Home Learning will continue for Reception to Year 6. Please be very careful.

Autumn Has Arrived
A warm start to Michaelmas term. It has been fantastic to have ALL of the children back in school for the start of the Michaelmas term. Autumn is officially here and with it is the usual excitement for Harvest, Children in Need, Halloween, Bonfire Night and... Christmas. The children have enjoyed collecting conkers in the school grounds and the eagerly awaited Conker Championships will be starting soon. Welcome back everyone.

Ready for Summer
As the end of an incredibly busy Trinity term draws to a close, staff say goodbye to the children and begin preparations for the Michaelmas term. The gazebos have been packed away, classrooms returned to 'normal' and everyone is now venturing off on their summer adventures. Have a lovely summer everyone. We will see you all in September.

Some lovely extracts from the hand written 1950 school magazine. I wonder what Christopher Timpson aged 7 1/2 and Jonathan Wicksteed aged 9 would think to Google Classroom and Home Learning? Much of the magazine could be 2021 from Sports Days to School Council elections! #tbt
