Congratulations Mr Ray! A huge well done to Mr Ray, our brilliant PE and Sports Champion, who has just been appointed Senior Head Coach at Oakham RFC! This follows an outstanding season coaching at Leicester Forest RFC, who were crowned league winners and County Cup finalists. At St Peter's, we are proud to support our staff to achieve their full potential both in and out of the classroom. We know our pupils benefit enormously from the passion, expertise and ambition of teachers like Mr Ray. We're incredibly proud; and we'll be cheering you on from the touchline! (Oakham are in a different league to Kettering, who we also support!!) #StPetersStaff #ProudOfOurTeam #RugbyExcellence #InspiringEducators #StPetersSport

Year 5 & 6 ended their Welsh adventure in true storybook style, with a visit to a magnificent ancient castle! They walked the ramparts, explored towering turrets, and soaked up the incredible history (and the views!). A perfect final chapter to an unforgettable residential. Goodbye, Wales, and thank you for the memories! #StPetersSchool #CastleExplorers #WelshAdventures #Residential2025 #HistoryComesAlive
