Welcome to St Peter and St Paul CE Academy, where children of all cultures and faiths access a rich and balanced primary curriculum and are supported to be the best version of themselves. We are an inclusive school who serve over 400 wonderful children and have strong links with community groups and the local church.
St. Peter and St. Paul is an Ofsted graded ‘GOOD’ school with a large, dedicated team of highly skilled staff and governors. We work closely with parents to provide a happy, stimulating learning environment where every child feels valued, respected and confident to be themselves. This is reflected in our school motto ‘All things are possible to those who believe’ and our three core values of honesty, perseverance and respect.
We are proud to be the home of Rise Multi-Academy trust, a large family of primary schools based in the Midlands. Our facilities include three halls, four playgrounds, a dedicated computer suite, adventure playground, trim trail and peace garden, in addition to a generous-sized field, running track and an all-weather pitch where children take part in a variety of sports. Our forest school is based within our on-site nature reserve and we are proud that food is prepared freshly on the premises by our school-employed kitchen team.
Our pupils benefit from a rich offer of day trips and residentials and attend swimming lessons at the nearby Charnwood Leisure Centre. We provide a knowledge-based, vocabulary-rich curriculum alongside a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including a variety of sports clubs who perform well in county competitions. We currently hold the gold mark for school games, which reflects our commitment to physical education and the wide range of sporting opportunities on offer. To support working parents, our Clubhouse team offer wrap-around care from 7:30am until 6pm, including breakfast and a light tea.
