St Peter's Catholic Primary School

[EduCativ]

We, the family of St Peter’s, united in faith by God strive to learn and grow together to be the best we possibly can every day. This is our school, where we are all stars in God’s eyes, where we should try our hardest in our work and our play. With Jesus in our hearts, help us to treat each other with respect, even when we find it hard.

The School Council is a very active and vocal part of the school community, who meet frequently to discuss the issues and concerns that have been raised by members of the school community.

School Councillors are elected by their classmates to:

• Attend school council meetings and take part in discussions.
• Share the views of others in their class.
• Speak to special visitors.
• Be involved in different projects that the school council runs.

At St Peter’s we take pride in our uniform. We want our children to look smart. Our school uniform can be bought from Castle Green School Uniform Shop.

The DfE have recently reinforced the need “to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values”. The importance of these values has been reiterated by the Prime Minister this year.

Protecting children from the risk of radicalization is part of St Peter’s Catholic Primary's wider safeguarding duties, and is similar to protecting children from other forms of harm and abuse. During the process of radicalization, it is possible to intervene to prevent vulnerable people from being radicalized. Radicalization refers to the process by which a person comes to support terrorism and forms of extremism. There is no single way of identifying an individual who is likely to be susceptible to an extremist ideology. It can happen in many different ways and settings. The Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 places a duty on school staff to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism. Known as the Prevent Duty. School staff should use their professional judgment in identifying children who might be at risk of radicalization or extremism and report any concerns to the Designated Safeguarding Lead.

It is important that when required as parents you return signed slips of acknowledgment by given deadlines to ensure you are fully aware and support planned events and/or have acknowledged you have received specific information.

There is a weekly newsletter sent out which is a record of school life for that given week and it also gives details of clubs and other activities that are occurring for the week. Please ensure that you read the newsletter each week. Each year group sends out a letter for the term/half term, showing topic coverage and the expectations and suggestions of ways in which you can support your child. We are a signpost school for the local community, so there always leaflets and posters in school promoting activities and events in the local area.
