Curriculum Enrichment
Our vision is create a learning environment that enables our children to ASPIRE, aiming high, and for our children to persevere with the challenges they face. We want to ensure 'life in all its fullness' for our learners. We are currently working on a St Peter's Passport which will highlight the various learning and enrichment opportunities we will provide for our children as they journey through the school.
These will include visits, visitors to the school, themed days and also through offering a wealth of after school clubs.
Below is a sample of some of the enrichment opportunities our children have experienced - many more can be seen within our passports!

St Peter's Passport
Our St Peter's Passports track the enrichment experiences and opportunities for every cohort as they progress through the school - our dedication to ensuring 'life in all its fullness'
Our Year 6 leaver's show (Summer 2022) was Mary Poppins. The children worked tirelessly on their performance and created a show that the West End would be proud of.
Year 3 enjoyed a trip to London's West End to see The Lion King - they were blown away by the performance. For some, it was their first experience of live theatre.
The children also enjoyed the London sightseeing on the coach!
The whole school enjoyed a street party to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Our School Council helped to prepare the lunch and experienced what it was like to work in a kitchen.
Year 5 enjoyed a visit to Cambridge Classical Archaeology Museum and the University Museum of Zoology. The children reinforced learning from their history learning on the Ancient Greeks and carried out pre-learning on an upcoming science unit.
We like to carry out fundraising event. Here are some pictures from our 'St Peter's Got Talent' show. We raised money for Red Nose Day and had a lot of fun doing it!
As part of our progressive residential offer, Year 4 had a camp out on the field. Mrs Heather hosted the event as our Forest School leader. The children had a great time!
Year 2 and 3 enjoyed a visit to Stansted Mountfitchet castle. This provided a great opportunity to consolidate some in-class learning from history.

In October 2022, our Year 4 cohort visited London's West End to watch Matilda the Musical. They all had a fantastic time!
The children had been studying Roald Dahl's classic novel in class and were using this to inspire their writing.
In November 2022, our Year 6 class visited Duxford IWM to learn about the technological advancements that were made during the second world war. This trip brought to life the children's learning on WW2 and inspired the children to learn more about engineering and the STEM subjects.

- Year 3: Ancient Rome

World Book Day celebrations: we really enjoyed dressing up as our favourite book characters!

We enjoyed our Easter church service. Each class performed to the audience with confidence and enthusiasm!
Year 2 enjoyed a trip to Lackford Lake Nature Reserve - linked to their learning in science!
They went pond dipping, flower hunting (learning about their life cycle) and identified trees. There was also time for a spiritual moment - hugging a long-standing oak tree.
