Welcome to our Latest News page - a place to see how we are learning and living ‘life in all its fullness' at St. Peter’s Church of England Junior School.
Join us for our next Bible Story: ‘Peter Speaks to the People’ and ‘The Believers Share’, found in Acts 2. As members of St. Peter’s School, we can take great inspiration from the life and work of St. Peter. Why do you think Jesus chose Peter to speak to the people? Why was collaboration such an important value for Peter and the believers? In the book of Acts, Peter brings the people together through his teachings about Jesus. In 1 Peter 4:10, Peter also tells us that ‘God has shown you his grace in giving you different gifts’. Think about your unique skills, qualities and talents. What ‘gifts’ do you bring to our community? We all have unique ‘gifts’ and when we bring all our different gifts together, we can achieve so much more. We invite you to create and decorate a paperchain as you reflect on this.

A shared moment of celebration: This week, marks the 75th anniversary of VE Day and we invite you to mark this special occasion with us from the safety of your homes. In addition to the home learning activities set this week, we are running a themed project based around VE Day with an enquiry question running through the week: When was VE Day and why do we remember it? We invite you to join our enquiry project and to send us photos of your VE Day activities and celebrations. There are a whole host of engaging activities out there for you to enjoy – where will your VE Day enquiry take you…?
This week, as the nation marked the 100th birthday of Captain Tom Moore and as we look ahead to the 75th anniversary of VE Day, we have been exploring the history of our beautiful school. Our school was first opened in 1864 as Farnborough National School, located in Farnborough Street at the time. In 1939, the school became known as North Farnborough Church of England Junior School - becoming St. Peter’s in 1952 and moving to our current location in 1962.
