Dear Parents/Carers,

As we come to the end of the summer term, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on some of our successes over the past academic year.

Our recent Ofsted Monitoring Visit in May recognised the progress being made on all issues and clearly outlined the key areas for future focus.  All the indicators are that we are addressing the school’s previous difficulties; early entry results in GCSE English and Maths are both improved on last year and it is anticipated that our summer term GCSE results will also reflect a significant improvement.

In addition, a great deal of improvement and development work has taken place over the past year.  The pattern of the school week will change for September, with teaching being reinstated on Wednesday afternoons following a thorough consultation process.  For the first time this September, all Year 9 students will embark on their key stage four programmes, allowing them three years to attain their target grades in their chosen courses.  We have also continued to develop our programme of vocational courses, and will therefore be in a position to offer increased provision in this area from September.  

Our work as a Gifted and Talented Pilot school has also continued throughout the year, and has provided extra funding to meet the needs of our most able students in Year 10.  The knowledge gained from this pilot programme is now being shared throughout the school to improve the overall quality of teaching and learning for all students.

Parents’ evenings, face-to-face meetings and governor led parents forums have all been held in the school this year, which I hope you have found useful and informative.

We have also continued to develop our international links and in particular have formed strong links with our partner school in China.  Five Chinese students visited St. Peter’s from 4th – 11th July, and several of our Year 9 students are currently visiting China to share cultural experiences of Shakespeare and the Kun Opera.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank the families who provided home stays for our Chinese guests during their recent visit.

Overall, this has been a busy year in which we have faced considerable challenges.   I am confident that, by continuing to work together, we can sustain and develop the improvements made to ensure that St. Peter’s High School and all its students can truly live up to our motto and “Be our best”.

I would like to remind you that the new term will commence on Thursday 2nd September 2010.  Year 7 and sixth form students should arrive for registration at 8.50 a.m.  Buses will collect these students at the usual time.   All other year groups should arrive two hours later at 10.50 a.m.  Arrangements have been made with the bus companies to pick these students up from their normal bus stops two hours later than their usual collection time.  Please see the school’s website for further details and information about future non-pupil days.  I wish you all a happy and restful break over the summer.

Yours faithfully,

Ms. J. Costello
Headteacher
