• New School Minibus

  Fri 30 May 2014

  Having taken delivery of our new school minibus last term, I am pleased to inform you that it now proudly displays our school name and logos. With the work completed over the half term, sponsored by our wonderful PTA through their dedicated fundraising, the minibus will now look fantastic as it journeys both locally and further afield to regional and national competitions.

   

  We are now looking for sponsors, who would like to advertise their company with either logo and/or QR code along the top margin of the bus. Please contact the school office for more information.

  

• Year 6 1940s WWII "WOW" Day

  Wed 21 May 2014

  The year 6 children were evacuated to the village of Coumerwick for a '1940s Wow Day',

   

  It was a great chance for them experience and learn about life as children on the home front during the 1940s as part of their WW2 history topic.  They really enjoyed the day and hope you will enjoy reading their recounts and looking at the photos in the gallery.

• Rotary Club IT Competition

  Mon 19 May 2014

  This year the Rotary Club IT challenge was to design a poster on the theme of 'Support the WWI war effort'.

  The Rotary Club were delighted to receive hundreds of entries recognising the support of people behind the scenes of the fighting during World War 1.

   

  This year children from Chalfont St Peter Academy won 9 of the 16 prizes available! Kate, Monty, Evie and Sophie from year 3 and Adam from year 5 were presented with their prizes and certificates at the prize giving ceremony on Friday. Unfortunately our year 4 winners couldn’t attend as they were returning from Osmington Bay at the time. Lucy, Louis, Lukas and Jack were therefore presented with their prizes and certificates in assembly on Monday.

   

  Congratulations to all the children, especially Jack and Sophie who were winners in their age groups and won £100 each for the school.

• U11 Boys Floor Vault Gymnastics Champions

  Sat 10 May 2014

  Two National Gymnastic Titles- Simply The Best! Chalfont St Peter CE Academy won their second national title on Saturday at Stoke on Trent in the British Schools Floor and Vault U11 Boys Championships. Having won the National School Team Championships in March, Chalfont St Peter Boys performed with great panache to overcome very strong opposition from eight other schools across Great Britain to win the British Schools’ Floor and Vault Championships. Convincing performances from Ben, Oliver, Charlie, Alex and Callum proved too strong for the second placed U11 boys’ team from The Royal Grammar School, Newcastle and won by 1 clear point. The team was highly praised by a number of onlookers who commented on the quality of performance by all members of the team. Wonderful support was provided by parents and families of the boys who cheered and applauded with great enthusiasm when the organiser announced that, Chalfont St Peter had become National Champions for 2014. The cheers echoed in time with the loudspeakers beating out, ‘Simply The Best’     The winning U11 teams from Chalfont St Peter CE Academy,(Boys),  Maltmans Green, (Girls) and the runners up in the mixed section, Stoke Poges, were representing the South of England in the National Finals. With their aggregated scores, The South, also won the George Finney Trophy for the region that achieved the highest scores. It is a great credit to our three local schools in Chiltern South Bucks, that they performed at such a high standard in national school gymnastics.
