"I think it's important to learn about black history, because if you only learn about one race people won't know what their own cultures have done. ...And they'll only think about one thing and people won't get the recognition they deserve." ( Akua in Year 6). Our headteacher, Peter Woodhead says,
"Our school motto of 'We Care' is all about understanding each other. It's inside that matters. We might look different on the outside, but we're all the same on the inside and so that everybody's got to be equal, we've done all sorts of things at our school to help make sure that people are equal."

As well as teaching black history in our school, we believe that making music which joins cultures together is important too. Dudley Nesbitt is the peripatetic steel-pan teacher and he creates special moments at St. Peter's. He says that,"Steel pans is for everybody - I mean the white children and the black children.  Some of the black children, probably feel proud seeing the steel pans at the school; seeing that their parents or their grandparents, came from the Caribbean and West Indies where Steel-Pans were invented, but it's for every child in the school really to play."
Our headteacher, Mr Woodhead, is just proud of us, his school and our school winning the Stephen Lawrence award because of what it means... "We have a school here that I think is very special. A school where children do get on with each other; children are good to each other; and they don't say horrible things about each other because they've got a different coloured skin. ...And it's a statement that the Stephen Lawrence Award says that this school stands for something ...and it stands for everybody being equal." At St. Peter's Primary School we all feel equal ...and we're proud of our school too! Report by Dominic, Tyler, Abigail & Athene Year 6 Children at St.Peter's CE Primary School
