About St Peter's CofE Junior School

St Peter's CofE Junior School photo

St Peter's Junior School is situated in Ruddington which is a large village south of Nottingham. Originally built as a secondary school, the building was subsequently converted for primary usage. It has two floors and excellent facilities, including a large hall, permanent stage, separate dining room, ICT Suite, large classrooms, an outdoor classroom, dedicated PPA/meeting areas and two well equipped nurture rooms.

The school has around 350 pupils on roll. Currently, there are twelve classes, operating in four year groups. We employ our own Sports Coach, and our Spanish and Computing lessons are taught by our own specialist teachers. We have a very popular and highly regarded before and after school care facility called Casper’s which is run by our own staff. We also run our own school kitchen which provides delicious and well-balanced meals.

The school stands in exceptionally large and attractive grounds providing wonderful opportunities for learning and sporting activities. We are fortunate enough to have our own nature reserve area, orchard, woodland, coppice and other attractive environmental features. The playing fields have enough space for four football pitches and we often host inter-school events. We have a strong tradition in a wide range of sporting activities both in terms of participation and achievement. In recent years we have excelled at hockey, athletics, basketball, football and many other areas.

We operate an open-door policy and have excellent working relationships with our parents who are encouraged to come into school to help with a range of activities. Our Friends of School group organises social and fund-raising events. In recent years Friends of School have generously funded expensive projects such as a trim trail, outdoor pavilion and playground re-surfacing.

St Peter’s has an exceptionally supportive and well-informed Governing Body which works closely with the Head and Staff, taking a full and interested role in the life of the school. Governors share the vision that our school should be a ‘Place for All to Flourish’ and act accordingly to support this. They are acutely aware of the pressures facing schools and teachers and recognise this in the way they go about their duties.

In our most recent parent survey, 100% of parents said they would recommend the school to another parent. We are very proud of this and children quite rightly love coming to school here. The unique blend of exceptional facilities, resources, a great staff team and fantastic children make St Peter’s a wonderful place to work and learn.
