100%. Every. Single. Time. We are incredibly proud to share the results from our latest questionnaires... 100% of parents and pupils said children are happy 100% said children feel safe These are the statistics that truly matter. Behind every percentage is a child who feels valued, supported and inspired every single day. This is more than a number; it's a reflection of our community, our values and everything we strive to be. #100Percent #ProudToBeStPeters #HappyAndSafe #SchoolCommunity

Reception Spring Farm Adventure Our Reception children enjoyed a truly magical day at the farm as part of their Spring topic. There was so much excitement as the children had the opportunity to hold animals, meet newborns and even feed the lambs; a wonderful hands-on experience that brought their learning to life. From gentle strokes to curious questions, the children showed such care and enthusiasm as they explored the sights, sounds and smells of the farm. These real-life experiences help to build understanding, confidence and a genuine connection to the world around them. A perfect way to celebrate Spring and all the new life it brings. We think it's safe to say... the lambs were the stars of the show! #EarlyYears #SpringLearning #FarmVisit #HandsOnLearning
Year 3 Holi Celebration at the Mandir Our Year 3 pupils had a truly vibrant and memorable visit to the Mandir in Wellingborough to celebrate Holi, the festival of colour. The children learned about the meaning behind this joyful celebration; a time of new beginnings, unity and positivity. There was laughter, curiosity and a wonderful sense of community as the children experienced a different culture first-hand. Opportunities like this help to broaden horizons, deepen understanding and bring learning to life in the most meaningful way. A huge thank you to the Mandir for such a warm welcome. #Holi #CulturalLearning #SchoolTrips #Diversity
Year 5 Greek London Adventure What a day in London for our Year 5 pupils! Bringing their learning to life, the children explored the incredible collections at the British Museum, linking directly to their studies of Ancient Greece. Standing in front of real artefacts, sculptures and history itself is an experience that simply cannot be replicated in the classroom. The adventure didn't stop there; the day concluded with a trip to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane to watch Hercules; a spectacular performance that perfectly complemented their topic. From ancient civilisation to live theatre, it was a day full of inspiration, culture and unforgettable memories. This is learning beyond the classroom at its very best. #SchoolTrips #AncientGreece #BritishMuseum #TheatreTrip #StPetersKettering

Reception Science Outdoors Science took place outside the classroom this week for Reception. Armed with their Chromebooks, the children explored the school grounds, observing, recording and investigating the world or Spring plants around them. Combining technology with outdoor learning helps bring science to life; encouraging curiosity, observation and discovery. Future scientists in the making! #ScienceLearning #OutdoorEducation #Reception #StPetersKettering
