Welcome to Our Online Open Day
Welcome to St. Peter’s CE Primary School, Hixon.
Choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. It marks the beginning of an exciting adventure, a journey filled with discovery, growth, friendship and learning. We understand just how significant this decision is, and we hope this page gives you a little bit of an insight into life at our school and the values that make our community so special.
At St. Peter’s, we pride ourselves on being more than just a school. We are a family. Every child is known, valued and encouraged to flourish as an individual. From their very first day in Reception or Nursery, we work closely with families to ensure children feel happy, safe and inspired to learn.
On this page, you’ll find information about our upcoming admissions events, opportunities to visit the school, our prospectus, videos showcasing school life, and, perhaps most importantly, the experiences and views of the children and families who are already part of our school family.
While websites and brochures can tell you a great deal about a school, nothing compares to experiencing it for yourself. I would warmly encourage you to attend one of our admissions events or arrange a personal tour. It would be a pleasure to meet you, answer your questions and show you what makes St. Peter’s such a special place to begin your child’s educational journey.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family to St. Peter’s.
Mr Charlotte Pilkington
Headteacher

Why Choose St. Peter’s for your Child?
Family Testimonials
The best way to understand our school is to hear directly from the families who are part of it. Here are just a few of the things they say about life at St. Peter’s CE Primary School.
“From the moment my daughter joined St. Peter’s, we were made to feel part of one big family. The care, kindness and support shown by every member of staff has been incredible. We will always be grateful for the wonderful primary school experience she has had.”
Parent of a Child in Year 6
“Having had two children at St. Peter’s, I can honestly say it feels like being part of a family. The nurturing environment and high expectations help every child become the very best version of themselves. I know my sons have been given the best opportunities to learn, grow and thrive.”
Parent of Children in Key Stage 2
“Being part of St. Peter’s means feeling welcomed, valued and supported. It is a caring community where children grow in confidence, discover their potential and create happy memories. For our family, it has been the perfect start to our child’s school journey.”
