Taylor Ward Trophy Day Last week one of our year 6 cricketers was nominated and invited to take part in the Taylor Ward Trophy at Uppingham School. This was a great honour for her to represent St Peter's in an elite cricket competition with fellow cricketers from other independent schools locally to one from Kenya! She took part in training exercises and drills in the morning led by Uppingham School's Cricket coaches, before playing in a 30 over game in the afternoon representing team Ward. It was a great day of Cricket at incredible facilities. Thank you to Uppingham School for the invitation! #uppinghamschool

The School Council welcomed the Kettering Mayor into school today for a tour, assembly and a grilling on what it's like to be mayor, how to become a mayor and several local issues. The children talked about democracy in school and all shared their challenges of being councillors. It was great to link our council with the town council so their voice can be heard on a town level. #pupilvoice #community
