Welcome to our website

14th January 2014Mr s Tester

‘Together, with the Spirit we will create an oasis where every child matters’

It is my pleasure, on behalf of the staff, governors and pupils to welcome you to Ss Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Primary School. We are a Roman Catholic primary school that has been established in Tyne Dock since 1889. The present school was built in the late 1960’s.

S.S. Peter α Paul’s School is a voluntary-aided parish school which means that it is supported, pastorally and financially by the church going people of our Parish.

Parents who do send their child to a Catholic school do so because they desire for the children to have not only a good secular education, but also a meaningful, spiritual and moral education.

We aim to provide a safe, happy, caring and responsible community, in which your child can learn, enjoy and be valued as a unique individual.

We aim to nurture their varying gifts and skills while providing the high-quality education necessary to prepare them for all experiences that life will offer them. We are extremely proud of our pupils at Ss Peter and Paul who are supported in their learning by dedicated staff, working in partnership with the Parish and parents. We encourage you to be actively involved in your child’s education.

We hope you will enjoy your visit to our website. You will find details about our curriculum, school events, visitors and activities that serve to enliven the curriculum, alongside information about our after school clubs and extra curricular activities.

We look forward to sharing this exciting journey with you for the next 7 or 8 years.

Best Wishes

Maria Butt

Daily Reading Challenge

At SS Peter and Paul RC Primary School we know how important it is to read and so we are encouraging our children to read every day.

Are you up for the challenge?
Each Friday Assembly we will be rewarding the class with the highest amount of daily readers!

Parents please sign your child’s reading record on a daily basis.

You are signing to confirm that you know they have been reading. There are so many things they could be reading, not just their school home reading book but perhaps a library book, a recipe, instructions, a magazine or anything else they are interested in.
They may be reading independently or with you.

A book is a dream that you hold in your hand.

–Neil Gaiman

Which class will be the first to win the ‘Daily Reading Challenge’ next week?

PUNCTUALITY

By J Gregg10th September 2018

Dear Parents / Carers,

Re: Punctuality

We are writing to all children’s families to emphasise the importance of being in school on time as there have been numerous incidents of some families routinely arriving at school at 9.00 a.m. or later and collecting their children at 3.30 p.m. or later.

School starts at 8.55 a.m. every day. Children need to be in their class at 8.55 a.m. so that they can start their lessons promptly. Children who arrive late are greatly disadvantaged because they miss starting the day with their peers and the beginning of lessons. This means that they are often unsettled and confused about tasks. Their teacher will not always be able to re explain work.

It is also very important that children establish good routines and habits in preparation for the rest of their lives. Punctuality is a life skill that they need to develop whilst they are young.

It is essential that you ensure that your child arrives at school on time to prevent disruption to your child’s own learning and that of others.

We will continue to focus on this area with children through class work and school assemblies

We are required to monitor children’s punctuality and attendance. On-going lateness (after the class register has been taken) is classified as an unauthorised absence and this is contrary to The Education Act.

We understand that there may be rare occasions when you are unavoidably late due to unforeseen circumstances. On these occasions please make sure that you contact the school office to inform us when you will arrive.

Children must be collected from their classes at 3.15 p.m. If your child is in Year 6 and unless they have your permission to go home by them self, they should be met in the playground at 3.15 p.m. and no later.

High levels of unauthorised absences or poor punctuality can result in a referral to the schools Attendance and Monitoring Officer or other agencies which have a duty to investigate further and could result in legal action being taken against you.

If you are experiencing difficulties with punctuality and would like to talk to us about it, please make an appointment to do so Please keep in mind that Breakfast Club is available to children from 8.00a.m.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs M Butt

Headteacher
