Early Years
The Early Years Department (Nursery and Reception) provides a happy and stimulating environment where the emphasis is upon developing the whole child. Our dedicated and qualified staff (including specialist staff for a number of subjects – Music, PE, Drama, ICT, Mandarin and French) organise the children’s learning following the seven areas as identified in the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Years 1-6
The children in Years 1 – 6 are constantly encouraged to give their very best in all that they do, and our use of ‘Self Assessment’ strategies encourages the children to look at their own performance and set themselves new goals and challenges in discussion with teachers and parents. Children need to take responsibility for their own learning, and we feel that this is the only way that they will give their very best.

Healthy Living
At Saint Pierre School, we pride ourselves on ensuring that all children adopt a healthy lifestyle from the earliest possible age. This really is catering for the mind, body and soul.

Extra Curricular
Extra-curricular activities play an important and wholly integral part of life at Saint Pierre school. Whilst there is provision for children to arrive from 8.00am, with our Breakfast Club, the vast majority of clubs run from 4.00 – 5.00pm, five days a week.

There is a generous selection of clubs on offer including Beach Club, ICT, French, Ten-pin Bowling, Football, Art, 11+, Cookery and Tea-time Club to name but a few. There is also one-off ‘specials’ and these have included golf, horse-riding and swimming. We have some BRAND NEW activities including Baking Club, Disney Club and a unique Rubik’s Cube Club!
