Military families
Royal Air Force
Around a quarter of our school pupils come from Military families, primarily working at RAF Brize Norton nearby. At St Peter's we are keen to support pupils from Forces families with experiences unique to them and to encourage our whole community to understand life as a Service pupil. Mrs Smith, one of our wonderful teaching assistants, is our Forces Lead. She meets with our Forces pupils, organises Forces and Friends events and liaises with families when going through deployment or relocation.
If you need to let us know that you are part of a military family as a school family, please contact the office and we can send you the relevant paperwork. If someone is being deployed, please complete this form to give us the relevant information.
Small Schools Service Support Programme
We have worked closely with Matt Blyton, a School Improvement Advisor, to further develop our knowledge provision for Service families through this project. It has provided a wealth of knowledge and skills as well as opportunities for staff training, pupil support and enrichment. School have used the Thiriving Lives Toolkit and other resources to ensure we are giving the best academic and pastoral support possibel for our service family pupils.
