Happy New Year for 2019 from everyone at St Peter’s Catholic Primary School.

The new term has started at quite a pace, with everyone getting back into a hard working routine from the word go. Year 5 pupils have already taken the first outing of the year with a trip to the Science Centre in Winchester. This visit kicked of their spring term topic of Space, and was enjoyed by all the children. Thank you to the Year 5 staff and parent volunteers who made the trip possible.

Sixth Form students from Oaklands delivered this Friday’s assembly to the whole school. As CAFOD representatives, the students helped out pupils to understand the plight of child migrants across the globe, and how through prayer and charity we can endeavour to improve the lives of those in greatest need. Miss Shaw launched an appeal for our own pupil body to select CAFOD representatives in St Peter’s to further the work we do for that charity.

And finally, ground work has finally begun to prepare for the new building. The modular unit will provide an additional indoor open learning space for our pupils to use as well as the school hall, as well as having a small kitchen for pupil cooking and extra staff work space. We will keep you posted on progress!
