Friday Celebration Assembly Every Friday afternoon, our Lower School and EYFS pupils and staff gather outdoors for a special Celebration Assembly; a chance to reflect on the week, share successes, and celebrate all the little moments that make St Peter's so special. With birdsong, sunshine (mostly!), and the beautiful school grounds as our backdrop, it's the perfect way to come together as a community and end the week with smiles, applause, and pride. What an idyllic setting to celebrate our achievements and each other. Happy weekend! #CelebrationAssembly #LowerSchoolJoy #StPetersSpirit #TogetherWeShine #FridayFeeling #OutdoorAssembly
Saturday Serve and Smash! A huge well done to our brilliant St Peter's tennis players who represented the school this morning at the @oakhamschool Tennis Tournament! Giving up their Saturday lie-ins to compete, they showed fantastic commitment, sportsmanship, and skill on the courts, with some brilliant rallies and plenty of aces! We're so proud of their determination and team spirit. Well played, everyone! #SaturdaySport #TennisStars #StPetersPride #GameSetMatch #SportingExcellence
Preschool Explorers! Our Preschool children have been loving their Outdoor Learning sessions, making the most of our beautiful grounds and all they have to offer! From mud pies in the Mud Kitchen and pond dipping for wiggly creatures, to adventures in the Forest School and picking treasures in the Orchard, every session is full of discovery, imagination, and muddy hands! There's nothing quite like learning in the great outdoors. Well done, little explorers! #OutdoorLearning #PreschoolAdventures #StPetersExplorers #ForestSchoolFun #CuriousLearners
Preschool Adventures! What a busy and brilliant week it's been for our Preschool children!

Our youngest learners have embraced every opportunity with smiles, curiosity, and endless energy. We're so proud of how much they've achieved in just one week! #PreschoolLife #CuriousLearners #StPetersEarlyYears #LittleExplorers #BusyBrilliantWeek
Language Learning Frenzy at St Peter's! Our children have been totally hooked on Language Nut this week, and who can blame them? With French, Spanish, and German lessons in school, and dozens more languages to explore at home, there's been no stopping our budding linguists! Today was a Double Points Day, and the excitement was real! Pupils across the school were eager to sharpen their vocabulary, listening, and speaking skills, and maybe sneak ahead on the leaderboard too... We love seeing such passion for languages and healthy competition in action! Bravo, bien hecho, gut gemacht! #LoveLanguages #LanguageNut #StPetersLinguists #DoublePointsDay #CuriousLearners #GlobalCitizens
Eco & Gardening Club Hard at Work! A big shoutout to our brilliant Eco and Gardening Club, who rolled up their sleeves this week to help with the weeding in our kitchen garden! With teamwork, muddy hands, and lots of enthusiasm, they're helping to keep our growing spaces blooming and beautiful. We're so proud of their commitment to looking after our school environment; one weed at a time! #EcoChampions #GreenThumbs #StPetersGardeners #SustainableSchool #ProudToBeStP
VE Day Celebrations at St Peter's! Our whole school turned red, white and blue this week as we marked VE Day with a wonderful day of music, movement, and making! From Lindy Hop dancing and wartime songs to quilting, bunting, and delicious Victoria sponge cakes, every pupil got stuck in and brought history to life in true St Peter's style. To mark the occasion, each child received a special VE Day pin badge, which they can wear proudly on their uniform throughout the Trinity term. Well done to all our pupils and staff for such a joyful and respectful celebration of this important day in British history. #VEDay #StPetersCelebrates #LivingHistory #RedWhiteAndBlue #ProudToBeStP
Curious Readers in the Wild! Our brilliant Year 1s have taken their love of reading outdoors, exploring stories among the trees and sunshine in our beautiful school grounds. Set in the conservation area gardens of our Victorian Grade II listed house, we are so lucky to enjoy such a stunning and peaceful space for reading. What a perfect spot for a book! Well done, Year 1, for showing such curiosity and creativity; turning every corner of St Peter's into a place of discovery! #CuriousLearners #OutdoorReading #StPetersKettering #VictorianCharm #LoveOfLearning
