St. Peter’s is a thriving and inclusive learning community of over 440 pupils, situated in Hednesford,
Staffordshire and is part of Future Generation Trust. Our motto is ‘Reach for the Sky’ and pupils are placed at the forefront of every experience and decision in school. The Academy is a two-form entry school which provides exciting and inspirational learning for children aged from Rising 3s Nursery to Year 6. Our academy community is a happy, welcoming and nurturing place where each pupil is known individually, encouraged to thrive and developed into confident, caring and active citizens. Effective relationships are at the heart of all that we do at St. Peter’s. Every child is encouraged to ‘Reach for the Sky’ in all they do, focusing on five key characteristics which will enable them to be successful in their learning and in their futures. These are:
resilience in the face of challenge; excellence in all they do, ambition for their future selves; captivated by a love learning; happy, helpful and ready to contribute.
As an academy, we seek to enable all children to ‘Reach for the Sky’ and to strive to make every day their best, building on what has gone before to shape the future. The five key areas of our motto demonstrate the value the school places on the holistic child, not just on their academic achievements. It enshrines our view that every child is an individual with special talents, interests and needs. As an educational setting, it is our privilege to foster these, to develop trustful relationships that enable every child to flourish and to give each young person the very best start in life.
The school’s motto, ‘Reach for the Sky’, captures leaders’ ambition for pupils. This is realised through pupils’ persistence, resilience and determination in their work. Pupils strive to do their best and are proud of their school. Ofsted, December 2022
