Our Community C
ompassion is one of our seven school values, and we encourage our children to care for others and take an active interest in the world beyond St Peter’s School. This year our pupils have organised an extraordinary range of fundraising events to support their school charities.

St Peter’s 2-8 The children at St Peter’s 2-8 supported several charities this year, including the Little Princess Trust and Sport Relief. They also enjoyed participating in intergenerational music workshops in care homes and created a reverse advent calendar for the homeless.
Reverse Advent Calendar In December, children at St Peter’s 2-8 brought in different items each day to support homeless people in the city of York. Hundreds of donations were received, from toiletries to scarves and gloves, and distributed to those in need living in our local community.
Crazy Hat and Hair Day St Peter’s 2-8 celebrated Crazy Hat and Hair Day in style in October 2019. The children learnt about The Little Princess Trust, a charity which provides free real hair wigs to children and young people, up to 24 years, who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or other conditions. The charity also funds pioneering, life-saving research into childhood cancers. A special thank you to Miss Beadle who raised a staggering £1,400 and donated 16 inches of hair!
Colour Run On Friday 13 March, St Peter’s 2-8 participated in a sponsored Colour Run in aid of Sport Relief. The children raised an amazing £500, which will help change the lives of many around the world. The day was a huge success, which was clearly evident from the big smiles on the children’s faces. It was an extremely colourful afternoon!
