Chaplaincy is at the very heart of St Peter’s. It plays a vital role in nurturing the spiritual life of our school community, ensuring that our Catholic mission remains central to everything we do. We are fortunate to have our Lay Chaplain, Juliet Kaye, who works closely with us as part of the St Cuthbert’s Trust Chaplaincy Team.

Juliet enriches our school life in countless ways: leading engaging Godly Play sessions that allow pupils to explore scripture creatively, supporting staff and pupils with whole-school liturgical celebrations, and mentoring our pupil leadership groups. Working alongside our trust team, chaplaincy ensures that every child is supported, encouraged, and given meaningful opportunities to encounter Christ daily.

Junior Chaplains

Our wonderful Junior Chaplaincy Team plays a vital role in our school and trust, ensuring that the Chaplaincy mission is central to our school life.

Our Junior Chaplains enhance the prayer life of our children, encouraging them to recognise God in each other and the world around them while developing their own experience of prayer. Within every classroom, sacred spaces have been lovingly developed to serve as focal points for daily reflection. Each week, our Junior Chaplaincy Team plans prayer and liturgy for the week ahead, providing their classes with exciting, innovative, and deeply meaningful ways to pray and worship together.

Mini Vinnies & Faith in Action

Putting our faith into action is a cornerstone of life at St Peter’s. Our active Mini Vinnies group leads the way in living out Gospel values through charitable works, fundraising events, and social justice projects throughout the school year.

As part of their mission, our Mini Vinnies liaise directly with the parish St Vincent de Paul (SVP) group, building strong bridges between our school and the wider parish community. Through these hands-on initiatives, our pupils earn their Faith in Action awards, learning firsthand what it means to love, serve, and make a real difference in the lives of others.
