| We are all celebrating the completion of our newly renovated nurture room space. Nurture and pastoral care are at the heart of the school’s approach.
‘Pupils in Year 6 help to look after pupils in Nest. This is the school’s quiet space where pupils can go if they have any worries or concerns. The school has created a highly inclusive culture. Pupils are very respectful of difference.’ Ofsted 2024 The Nest was initially created back in Autumn 2021 transforming a storage room into nurture space for use during lesson time, lunchtime and by the schools after school provision Fun Club. Initially the room was cleared and repainted however there was ambition to create and inspirational space that brought the children’s thoughts and ideas to life. All the classes at St Peter’s are named after birds from the book ‘The Lost Words’ and continuing this theme the children named the nurture space ‘The Nest’ as it is a safe and welcoming space for children from all classes to meet and be together. The school worked closely with York based company Playscheme to develop the design including the children’s wish for their very own school treehouse. Throughout last year school completed several bids for additional funds including a successful application to the Johnson and Mukherjee Foundation to support this project as well as working closely with Friends of St Peter’s FOSP to raise the funds needed for this project.
