Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
It has been lovely sharing our Christmas celebrations with so many of you. Our nativities, including the Early Years nativity yesterday have been amazing and reminded us of the real reason that we celebrate Christmas.
As we break up for the holidays we wish a fond farewell to Mrs Gardner as she takes early retirement. We thank her for everything that she has done for the community of Wallsend St Peter's over many years and hope that she has a very happy retirement.
Thank you also to all of the parents and carers who work with us as we aim to provide the very best for every child. Your support means that we can achieve much more.
On behalf of the pupils, staff and governors I'd like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. We're looking forward to welcoming the pupils back to school on Tuesday 7th January 2020 for the next term of exciting learning.
I just wanted to share some advance notice of possible disruption on the Metro that I have just received from Nexus. I hope that those of you who travel by Metro can find an alternative way of getting to school on Friday 20th December so that your children don't miss out on the fun activities we have planned for that day, including a visit and presents from a person in a red suit with white trimmings!
If there are any further updates, or if the strike action is cancelled before this date I will keep you informed.
Dear Headteacher
I regret to have to inform you that the RMT Union has today informed us of
strike action by train crew working on the Tyne and Wear Metro, scheduled
for Friday 20 December and Saturday 21 December. If this action goes
ahead it is highly likely that there will be no Metro services, across the entire
Metro system, on those days.
We are hugely disappointed that this trade union has chosen to target two of
the busiest days of the year for the area, and we deeply regret the disruption
that this will cause.
Yours sincerely
DEBORAH RODENBY
Youth Liaison Officer
After a fun day yesterday the children were all in bed and asleep by 9:30 last night. This morning they have woken up to a tasty bacon breakfast which will set them up nicely for their busy day of activities ahead. Tonight they will all enjoy a gorgeous Christmas dinner which is always a real treat and maybe a visit from a 'special someone in a red suit with white trimmings'.
Tomorrow we will keep you updated via text and Twitter with an expected time of arrival back to school, depending on traffic.
