It is always a privilege to welcome children and their families to our school. At Ss. Peter and Paul, we aim to make this important step a pleasant and rewarding one for both you and your child. We look forward to working in partnership with you, nurturing children who are loving and happy individuals. We want our children to be confident in their faith and beliefs, able to face challenges, know what is important and to speak up when something is wrong. We encourage our children to be aspirational and to achieve the best they can with their academic learning.  We want them to look back in years to come, on the fond memories of their journey and time spent here at Ss. Peter and Paul.

If you are considering a place for your child at Ss. Peter and Paul, here you will find all the information you need prior to applying.
