As a church
school we enjoy a close relationship with St Peters Church, Birtstall.
St Peter's works with confidence from a Christian foundation
to provide the best possible education for its pupils. We aim to:
provide a
place where children encounter a "living faith" through the value placed
on each individual and to create an atmosphere and an ethos which reflects
mutual care and concern and a clear expression of Christian values.
to provide a whole range of curriculum experiences and learning opportunities
which
will enable a child to learn and grow, acquire skills and knowledge, find
fulfilment and pleasure in the things he/she achieves and then eventually be
able to play his/her
part in the adult world.
to maintain the school as a place of honour and high standards, where
children are encouraged to think and discover for themselves; where the love of
life and learning
and the appreciation of beauty can be shared and developed within a happy and
peaceful atmosphere of love, care and respect.
We want our school to be a happy, caring, challenging and purposeful place for
all who enter.
We think that children will learn best when they are happy at their work - we
aim to give each child interesting and relevant work with positive feedback.
We know that children who learn best are those who are attentive, enthusiastic,
kind, polite and respectful. Developing these habits supports children in
becoming independent and knowledgeable.
