St Peter's Primary School Homepage

Headteachers Welcome

Welcome to the website for St Peter's Roman Catholic Primary School. We are situated in the picturesque Rossendale valley and enjoy scenic views which span far and wide. Our school is founded in the Catholic faith and all our actions reflect our belief that every child is a gift created in the image of our God. We openly welcome children from all faiths and backgrounds and every child flourishes in our care and love.

There is a real family atmosphere at St Peter's of which we are very proud. We know all our families well and build on this strong partnership between school, parish and home to ensure our precious children receive the support and stimulating education they deserve, rooted within our rich Catholic ethos. Our most recent family survey once again showed that our parents and carers overwhelmingly recommend us to other parents.

In October 2024 we underwent an Ofsted inspection and were delighted to be judged as ‘Outstanding’ in all areas. In July 2023 Salford Diocese carried out an inspection focusing on the quality of Catholic education we provide for our children; once again we judged to be 'Outstanding' in all areas. This is testimony to the excellent work which continues at St Peter's on a daily basis and demonstrates how we continually strive for excellence. Please take the time to read our reports as I feel they capture the essence of our school perfectly; courteous, thoughtful and enthusiastic children, an environment full of warmth and laughter with dedicated and creative teaching staff who only want the best for every child.

We always welcome visitors to the school, so please contact our office if you wish to make an appointment to see myself or my Deputy Head, Mrs Maria Mussell.

With warmest good wishes,

Helen Sullivan
