This website aims to give you a taster of the school, as well as providing up to date information for parents, pupils and the wider community.
St Peter's Junior School is situated in Ruddington which is a large suburban "village" south of Nottingham with a good cross section of community and a range of housing which includes council and private property.
Most recently we have been in the fortunate position of being able to provide every pupil in Years 4,5 and 6 with their own dedicated iPad for school use.
We have an excellent tradition in a wide range of sporting activities both in terms of participation and achievement.
The school operates an open door policy and has excellent working relationships with its parents who are encouraged to come into school to help with a whole range of activities and to participate fully in the education of their children.
St Peter's has a supportive and well informed Governing Body which works closely with the Head and Staff and takes a full and interested role in the life of the school.
Most recently we have been focussing on increasing the proportion of outstanding teaching across the school supported by the use of tablet technology and 'talk-less teaching'.
School Development Plan priorities also involve ensuring every child is a reader, assessment, and continuing to develop outdoor learning opportunities.
We have a school linking programme with a school in Mumbai, India.
To date, five members of staff have visited Mumbai and we hope there will be further visits in the near future.
The ethos of the school is one that focusses on the very wide range of pupil needs that we find in the school.
It may be summarised in our three school rules - to be kind and thoughtful, always show excellent manners and to do our best.
We strive to ensure that every child is offered a wide range of opportunities and experiences that enable him/her to fulfil their potential, to become responsible participating citizens and to achieve a satisfying and worthwhile future for themselves.
In short, St Peter's is 'A Place for All to Flourish'.
