At Ss Peter & Paul Catholic Primary School we always work to provide a stimulating and interesting environment where children have the opportunity to develop their talents to their full potential.
We strive to nourish each child’s faith by widening it within the life and work of the school, in partnership with parents and the Parish community. This is done in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church. We ensure that children know how to follow the example and teachings of Jesus.
We encourage children to ask questions about the teachings of Christ and to develop enquiring minds. We are aware that a child’s needs and levels of understanding in RE change and develop. We adapt to these needs through the following aims which are underpinned by our school’s mission statement.
We promote concern, consideration and respect for all others regardless of race, culture, gender or disability. This is further strengthened by our links with charities such as Father Hudson’s and our Lenten Charity work.
We create a happy, purposeful and caring environment which fosters the intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual development of each child. We continue to fully develop the talents of each child through a balanced RE curriculum and by providing work suited to individual needs.
The children at Ss Peter & Paul Catholic Primary School are given the opportunity to learn about different Religions and Faiths. We have Multi-Faith themed assemblies and the children work very hard to produce beautiful and informative display work.
We also recognise not only the importance of allowing children to flourish and embrace our wider role in preparing them for their adult life beyond the formal examined curriculum. Part of our role in preparation is ensuring that we promote and reinforce British Values to our pupils.
House Teams
Every child and members of staff will be given one of these four Houses to support. Siblings are placed in the same houses. Teaching and non-teaching staff will also belong to a House, with the exception of the Senior Leadership Team, as they will encourage and support the children in positive team building through the House system.
House points are awarded using the following guidance:
1 house point for an isolated achievement (e.g. a one off act of kindness, helpfulness, good work etc).
2 house points for a sustained achievement (e.g. sustained good behaviour, an achieved target, hard work on a project etc).
3 house points for a special achievement (e.g. something that goes above and beyond) or a group achievement (e.g. for winning a class based team game).
5 to 10 house points can be awarded for extra special achievements by the Senior Leadership Team including ‘WOW’ work and ‘Stars of the Week’.
This system aims to encourage a real sense of pride and achievement for the children. It fosters community spirit and gives the children an opportunity to contribute to something bigger, which involves children from all year groups. The older children are positive role models and take on a pastoral role for the younger children.

The School Council 2019-2020
We value the opinions of our pupils and the School Council gives pupils a forum to share these opinions with the Principal. It provides our children with the opportunity to raise issues, share ideas and participate in discussions and decisions made about the school which may affect them. Elections to become a member are held annually and consist of children from Years 4/5/6 who fill in an application and are then invited in for a interview with Ms Gordon.
The School Council members within the Romero Academy gather regularly as part of Pupil Voice to share ideas on how they can help to assist the local community. They strive to work towards our school aims: Serve, Inspire, Inclusion, Nurture, Truth & Succeed, which underlines our values of helping those in need.
This year we will be working in partnership with the Andrew Robinson Young People’s Trust who work with young people in Coventry to help them overcome barriers in life. It aims to advance the religious education of young people, especially those in need, by providing support and assistance, enabling them to develop their faith within the Catholic Church. Also to develop their physical and mental capacities and inter-personal skills through their leisure activities, enabling them to mature as individuals and members of society thereby improving their conditions of life. Over the last academic term we held a hot chocolate sale and raised a total of £252.00 which included a donation from the Christmas Bazaar.
The School Council are also in the process of applying for the Coventry Peace & Reconciliation Award for Schools which aims to give young people a voice in promoting peace and reconciliation in both schools and communities, encouraging them to become a new generation of peacemakers and active citizens. The issues they hope to look at are racism, violence, peace and conflict resolutions.

What we’ve been up to recently
History was brought to life at school on Thursday, 7th November ahead of Remembrance Sunday.
Our Year 6 pupils had the opportunity to taste the food in ration packs, try on helmets and have a go at a paintball shooting range.
A display was installed in the school hall which included lots of items. These included an area to celebrate diversity, a family picture book and visual history, a ration book, an identity card, a book of wartime recipes, a Women’s Land Army leaflet, knitted poppies and books covering World War I and II.
Learning mentor and deputy safeguarding lead Ms Gordon and Year 6 teaching assistant Miss Ruffley taught the children about World Wars I and II last term and wanted to be make it more real in the countdown to Remembrance Day.
Miss Gordon contacted Company Sergeant Major WO2 Barrington Brown of the 1st Battalion Mercian Regiment, who brought along some of his soldiers as well as Staff Sergeant Carl Shankland and Sergeant Phil Edis from the Army Reservists to hold a series of workshops where we held the workshops on World War I and II, one of the sessions focused on how ethnic groups fought in both wars which we all found interesting.
It was a great day thoroughly enjoyed by the children.
Learning and loving on our journey with Jesus 
Give our children a more active and personal faith in Jesus Christ.
Create a climate of excellence where all children are challenged through a broad and rich curriculum, enabling them to grow as independent learners.
Build an inclusive community which welcomes diversity, encouraging respect and tolerance towards others.
Develop and foster a loving and caring relationship with our school and wider community.
Through the teaching of the gospel, children are encouraged to live their life with integrity.
We provide opportunities to reflect and celebrate the talents and gifts of all our children as they continue on their journey as lifelong learners.
