A School Day Like No Other! Wicksteed Park became our classroom as St Peter's took over the grounds for a truly unforgettable school day. Science in the fresh air, maths backstage, and time to explore the beautiful park – all while preparing for our production! Learning came alive in the most magical setting, with laughter, teamwork, and excitement in every moment.
Backstage Magic Behind the scenes of our production was a hive of activity, with our incredible team of helpers sorting costumes, perfecting makeup, and keeping everything running smoothly. Children supported each other with quick changes, props, and encouragement, showing the best of St Peter's teamwork in action. We are so grateful to everyone who made backstage such a special part of the day.
75 Stars, One Stage! Every child from Year 1 to Year 6 took to the stage at Wicksteed Pavilion, with 75 children singing, dancing, and acting their hearts out. From our youngest cast members to our oldest performers, each child brought their energy and talent, creating a performance we will never forget.
Taking You to Victorian London The final performance of Oliver! transported our audience to the cobbled streets of Victorian London, with songs, laughter, and moments of pure theatre magic. Our children shone, the audience cheered, and it was a night to remember for everyone involved. Thank you to all who joined us for this spectacular journey!
Year 5 & 6 Become Codebreakers! Our Year 5 and 6 adventurers stepped back in time this week with a fantastic visit to Bletchley Park, the home of the WWII codebreakers! They explored the huts where secret messages were cracked, discovered the incredible stories of the men and women who changed the course of history, and even tried their hand at cracking codes themselves! From Enigma machines to decoding challenges, the day was packed with curiosity, teamwork, and excitement, bringing history and STEM learning to life in the most inspiring way. Who knows, we may have some future cryptographers in our midst! #StPetersAdventures #BletchleyPark #HistoryBroughtToLife #FutureCodebreakers #STEMLearning
Sports Day: Throwing & Jumping Events! Our athletes impressed us all during the throwing and jumping events at Sports Day this year! From mighty ball throws to speedy speed-bounce records and long jumps that seemed to fly, the determination and skill on display were fantastic. A huge well done to every child who gave it their all; and to those who broke school records, we are so proud! #StPetersSport #SportsDay2025 #ThrowJumpAchieve #AthleticExcellence
