π What a Fantastic Start to the School Year! π
We have now been back in school for just over a week, and what an incredible start it has been at Leigh St. Peter's CE Primary School!
We are delighted to welcome our new Nursery and Reception children, who have settled into school life brilliantly. It has been wonderful to see them growing in confidence each day, making new friends and embracing all the exciting opportunities that school has to offer.
Across the rest of the school, pupils have moved confidently into their new classes and quickly got stuck into their learning. Every class has shown enthusiasm, perseverance and a positive attitude, setting the tone for what promises to be another fantastic year. We are so proud of how well all of our children have embraced new routines, challenges and opportunities.
We also had our Values Day, where children have spent time exploring the importance of our school values of Love, Integrity, Generosity, Honesty and Trust. These values are at the heart of everything we do, and it has been wonderful to see them already being demonstrated across school through acts of kindness, friendship, responsibility and support for one another. A special thank you to Mrs Balmer for leading and organising such a fantastic Day, helping our children to reflect on and live out these important values.
A special congratulations also goes to our newly appointed Head Boy, Head Girl, Deputy Head Boy, Deputy Head Girl and School Prefects. We know they will be excellent role models and ambassadors for our school family throughout the year.
We would also like to thank our families for helping us make such a positive start. Attendance has been exceptionally high this week, demonstrating a real commitment to learning. Every day in school matters, and our children are already showing just how ready they are to achieve their very best.
Most importantly, it has been wonderful to see our school vision of "Let Your LIGHT Shine" already shining through in so many ways. From displaying our Christian values, to showing determination in learning, kindness towards others and pride in our school community, our children have truly embodied what it means to let their light shine brightly for all to see.
Here are just a few photographs showcasing some of the fantastic things the children of Leigh St. Peter's have been up to during their first week back. We can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in store!
