Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.

• Names on uniform please

  Mon 30 Sep 2019 Miss Bilton

  Please can I remind you to write your child's name on the labels of coats, jumpers, blazers and ties because it is very difficult to work out who it belongs to when it is found. Usually many children in the same class wear the same size uniform. If you would like us to write it on for you, please let your child's class teacher know. Thank you.

   

• Macmillan coffee morning

  Mon 30 Sep 2019 Miss Bilton
  We are delighted to let you know that we raised £123.33 for the Macmillan cancer charity during our coffee morning on Friday. Thank you very much to all who donated. The money will be sent to the charity today.

• Y4 swimming

  Thu 05 Sep 2019 Miss Bilton

  A letter is coming home today explaining that Y4 will begin their swimming lessons at Hadrian Leisure Centre on Monday 9th September and will take place every Monday for the rest of the school year. Swimming is an essential part of the PE curriculum and we are privileged that Hadrian Leisure Centre is so close to us and offers excellent swimming tuition.

  Pupils will need to bring the following things every Monday:

  • a towel
  • a swimming costume (girls) or swimming trunks (boys)
  • a plastic bag to put their wet things in
  • a bobble to tie up long hair

  As the weather gets colder please make sure that your child has a hat and/or a coat with a hood to cover up wet hair when walking back to school at the end of the lesson.

   

  If you have any questions about this, please ask.

   

• North of Tyne Tour of Britain

  Thu 05 Sep 2019 Miss Bilton
  On Monday 9th September the North of Tyne Tour of Britain international cycle race is coming through our region. It is a huge honour and a great atmosphere is expected. Please read the letter coming home today about collecting your child from our school during the road closures. Thank you.

• KS2 uniform

  Wed 04 Sep 2019 Miss Bilton
  Pupils in Key Stage 2 may wear a plain black jumper during the colder weather but they still must wear their school blazer. This is the agreed uniform policy and must be upheld. Thank you for your cooperation in this.

• Macmillan coffee morning

  Wed 04 Sep 2019 Miss Bilton
  We are hosting a coffee morning in our school hall on Friday 27th September in support of Macmillan cancer care. This will be open to adults from 9am - 10am where you can come and enjoy a cuppa, cake and a natter. Any donations of cakes will be greatly appreciated for this worthy cause. The children will be making cakes and decorating biscuits which they will sell for 50p and they can buy any cakes left after the coffee morning later in the day. Please join us to help to raise as much money as possible so the charity can help people living with cancer.

• Earrings

  Wed 04 Sep 2019 Miss Bilton
  Please can I respectfully remind you that for health and safety reasons, your child may not wear earrings for school. Even the small rubber retainers can hurt or even rip an ear if they are accidentally knocked during activities or break times. Children wearing earrings will not be able to join in with PE or play activities for their own safety until earrings are removed. The Governing Body will uphold this rule without exception. I appreciate your cooperation with this as we try to keep every child safe.

• Telephones working again

  Wed 04 Sep 2019 Miss Bilton

  Good news! Our telephone line is now working again. Engineers have worked hard to establish the root of the problem and it is now fixed. I apologise for the inconvenience caused.

  Remember that our new telephone number is 0191 6053407

• Telephone not working

  Tue 03 Sep 2019 Miss Bilton
  Unfortunately we are experiencing an issue with our telephone system today so there are no calls connecting through to us. Engineers are currently working to resolve the matter and hopefully the telephones will be working again very soon. We apologise for the inconvenience.

• Welcome back

  Tue 03 Sep 2019 Miss Bilton

  It has been lovely to welcome our amazing Wallsend St Peter's families back to school today after the summer break. 

  Everyone has settled into their new classes well and there is already some fantastic learning taking place. It is great to work with such lovely children and we look forward to working with you all over the next year.

  The first of our monthly newsletters will be coming home this week with some exciting details in of things that we have planned for this next half term. These include opportunities for you to come into school to meet with your child's class teacher and to find out what your child will be learning about this year. We are also going to offer opportunities for you to join our celebration assemblies on the day that your child is to receive a certificate. All of the details about these events will be in the newsletter but please come and ask if you have any further questions.
