We are very proud of our school. It is an exceptionally happy and caring school. Bright and stimulating, it has a lively and purposeful atmosphere. It is special place where children thrive and are at the heart of everything we do. We strive to work in active partnership with parents and carers and are keen to play an active role within the Peterchurch village community. We have a dedicated and highly skilled staff who are all committed to the children in their care, ensuring they feel valued and have a sense of pride in themselves, their school and their community.
Our aim is to inspire a love for learning in a safe and happy environment so that they develop as independent learners and thinkers who are engaged and curious about the world around them. Learning experiences at the school are carefully designed to develop deep thinking skills with an ability to reflect, consider, analyse and evaluate.
Subjects are brought vividly to life in imaginative ways. We recognise our children as unique individuals with often very specific talents and needs. We therefore work tirelessly to provide a broad, well-sequenced and engaging curriculum in order to ensure that we are a school where ‘no child’s talent is left undiscovered’ and where learning is full of memorable moments.
