Next year, a group of Learning Community 2 girls will be moving up the Chapel path to become St Peter’s Girls’ School Reception students. For many, the journey at Saints Girls began when they attended playgroup as a young toddler, or when they joined Learning Community 1. Over the past few weeks, the girls have been reminiscing about the special times they have had at the ELC and the friendships they have made along the way.

The ELC children are formally welcomed into the St Peter’s Girls’ School community at a School Assembly where they are each presented with a very special gift from a member of the 2020 Prefect team. When communicating with parents and families of children involved in this presentation in the past, they have placed high importance on the sense of community and belonging that this tradition gives the children when entering their new environment.

On Monday 2 December, the 2020 Reception girls, along with a group of their peers and teachers, attended the Assembly. This is a key component in their transition journey to school. Ms Suzanne Haddy, Head of Junior School, presented the girls with their new school bags and hats to commemorate their transition to school.

We were thrilled to share this special moment with them and, as you can see in the video, the children were beaming with pride. We wish all girls a wonderful start to school next year and look forward to hearing more about their continued journey at St Peter’s Girls.
