Burton Community
We welcomed guests from Burton to our beautiful village. Our School Council took them on a walk, pointing out interesting sites. They were particularly fascinated in the church and castle. The children and adults all enjoyed getting to know each other. We walked to school where the children served homemade cakes and drinks.
Kenya Project
The children spent time learning about poverty and some of the causes of it. Through our Christian youth worker we made a connection with the One by One school in Kenya.
Children learnt about what it is like to live in Kenya. The children decided that as a federation they wanted to raise £600 which would pay for a pupil to attend the school for a year. The school supports children who have previously at risk of starvation, child labour and even torture. Our school council organised a ‘Cake off’ where children paid to enter cakes in a competition. The cakes were then sold with all proceeds going to the One by One school.
Cheadle and District Foodbank
A member of the Cheadle foodbank came to talk to the children about how the foodbank works and how we can support it.
We donated over 30 Advent calendars to the foodbank.
Well in Nepal
The children at St Peter’s are proud to have worked alongside the other Saints Academies schools to raise enough money for a well in a village in Nepal. Because of this the people who live in the village can access clean water. Our School Council arranged non uniform days and cake sales which raised £150 towards the well.
Feed the Hungry
We are supporting Feed the Hungry, a Christian based charity, which helps children in the poorest areas of the world by sending food packages. The children at St Peter’s worked incredibly hard alongside the Saints Academies family to achieve a target of £260 to fund one thousand meal packages to be sent to Kenya. As part of our fundraising efforts we had a sponsored obstacle course.

Children’s Society
Each year we host a Christingle Service as part of our Christmas celebrations. Rev Leathers makes the Christingles with the children and these are lit during our Christmas production held in St Peter’s Church. Donations are sent to the Children’s Society.

Parents generously donate produce for our Harvet Service held in St Peter’s Church. The produce is sold during the Sunday service and proceeds are sent to Christian Aid.
Comic Relief
The School Council organises a ‘red themed’ non uniform day and activities to support Comic Relief.
Children in Need
The School Council organised a wacky hair, non uniform day and activities to raise funds for Children in Need.
