About St Peter's C of E Junior School
Vision, Pillars and Ethos
Vision Statement
St. Peter was a close friend and follower of Jesus. Originally a fisherman, Peter’s name means “rock” and Jesus told Peter that he would be the rock upon which the church (referring to all people who followed Jesus) would be built. But Peter also made mistakes. He sometimes misunderstood Jesus and famously said he didn’t even know him three times after Jesus had been arrested. Yet, after Jesus’ resurrection, Peter was restored and appointed a leader in the early church.
Inspired by this story, it is our vision that St Peter’s Church of England Junior School will:
Be a place of safety and security for the families that we serve
Meet the academic and spiritual needs of all, through a curriculum that inspires children to be naturally curious about God’s creation
Be a place where all can flourish, regardless of background or ability
Empower children to take responsibility and become courageous advocates for change.
St. Peter’s Pillars
Positivity – in faith, in each other, in ourselves
Perseverance – in aspiration and attitude
Passion - in learning, in Christ, in fellowship
Presence – in prayer, in reflection, in behaviour
Aims
By the time a child leaves St. Peter’s they will have had the opportunity to:
Become a valued member of a community where they are loved and cared for
Experience a rich, varied and exciting curriculum
Be the best that they can be
Make the most of their God-given talents
Celebrate success and know what it feels like to be celebrated
Develop a curiosity for God’s creation
‘A ROCK FOR OUR COMMUNITY’
