SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary Academy and Nursery

Sports Day 2026 has been a day to remember! What team spirit, pride and perseverance we have enjoyed today. From Nursery Teddy Bear’s Picnic race to Year 6 water relay, every pupil shone! Thank you to all our visitors able to join us to enjoy this event.

Congratulations to the children receiving their First Holy Communion today on the Feast of Corpus Christi. May the Lord bless and keep them always. Amen

This week, both Year 4 and Year 5 have been busy completing the final pieces for their collaborative art projects.

The individual creations will soon be brought together to form larger display pieces that our children and school community can be proud of. We can't wait to share the finished results with you!

A huge thank you to all of the parents, carers and family members who joined us throughout the project. Your support helped make the experience even more meaningful and special for the children.

🎨 Year 5
Year 5 explored the values that are important within their families. Children filled sheets of paper with words and phrases that represent their family values, such as love, honesty, kindness and respect. They then transformed these into impressive 3D artworks, creating a visual celebration of what matters most to them.

🌈 Year 4
Inspired by the work of artist Julio Le Parc, who uses colour and movement to take the viewer's eye on a journey, Year 4 designed and created their own vibrant artwork. After developing six different design ideas, each child selected their favourite to paint onto a card tile. These tiles will be combined to create a colourful installation that will take visitors on a journey around the Year 5 classroom next year.

We are incredibly proud of the creativity, thoughtfulness and effort shown by all of the children.

Our school will always be proud to attend the annual memorial Tony McGinn football tournament and this year‘s team did us proud. Their progress through each game in the group, their sportsmanship and team spirit demonstrated the spirit of this event perfectly. Tony was a passionate and skilled teacher, in the classroom and on the sideline of the football pitch. It was a privilege to take the team today personally to remember a much missed and fondly remembered friend and colleague. Well done team, well done ConnectEd

Summer sports are well underway at SS Peter and Paul! 🎾

Today, selected Year 3 and Year 4 children had a fantastic time developing their tennis skills at the ‘Racket Festival’ held at Newbridge Tennis Club.

The children showed great teamwork, determination and enthusiasm throughout the event, whilst learning new skills and enjoying a range of exciting activities. A huge well done to all of the children for representing our school so positively! 🌟

What a fabulous morning Year 3 have had as part of their Art project! The children have been busy designing their own pieces of fabric using maps, colours, words and symbols that represent their culture and heritage.

We are really looking forward to seeing all of the individual pieces come together to create one beautiful class piece of artwork.

A huge thank you to all of the parents who were able to join us this morning. It was such a positive experience and truly reflected the strong sense of family at SS Peter and Paul, with home and school working together to make the children’s artwork so meaningful and special. 🎨🌍❤️
