Vision Statement

St. Peter, after whom Peterhouse is named, was a close friend and follower of Jesus. Originally a fisherman, Peter’s name means “rock” and Jesus told Peter that he would be the rock upon which the church (referring to all people who followed Jesus) would be built. Peter demonstrated trust in Jesus, even stepping out of a boat and onto water. But Peter also made mistakes.  He sometimes misunderstood Jesus and famously said he did not even know him three times after Jesus had been arrested.  Yet, after Jesus’ resurrection, Peter was restored and appointed a leader in the early church.

Inspired by this story, it is our vision that Peterhouse Church of England Primary Academy will:

• Be a community built on compassion, offering safety and security for the families that we serve, much like St. Peter was the rock for the church.
• Meet the academic and spiritual needs of all learners through a curriculum that inspires children to be naturally curious about God’s creation, building a sense of belief in themselves and others and God.
• Be a place where all can flourish, regardless of background or ability because, like St. Peter, everyone should experience forgiveness and have the opportunity of a fresh start.
• Empower children to take responsibility within their communities and have the courage to be advocates for change.

Values

Aims

By the time a child leaves Peterhouse they will have had the opportunity to:

• Become a valued member of a community where they are loved and cared for
• Experience a rich, varied and exciting curriculum
• Be the best that they can be
• Make the most of their God given talents
• Celebrate success and know what it feels like to be celebrated
• Develop a curiosity for God’s creation

Our Church Schools Inspection (SIAMS)

As well as an OFSTED inspection, as a Church of England voluntary controlled school we are also inspected by the Church. Our latest SIAMS inspection took place in November 2016 and the school was graded as 'Good' overall with a judgement of 'Outstanding' in leadership and management.
