Keep the Heartbeat of our City Going!

9th July 2021Mr J Morgan

Following the scenes witnessed when Christian Eriksen collapsed in Denmark’s opening
Euro 2020 game against Finland, pupils at SS Peter and Paul have launched a campaign to try and secure funding to help us install a community defibrillator. Through their research, they have mapped the locations of existing devices and now have a compelling argument for action.

Recently as a school community, we thanked former Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo for personally backing and helping fund the ‘Feed Our Pack’ campaign. Now, as a force for good in our City, we turn to Wolverhampton Wanderers Foundation to see if they will back our campaign to install a defibrillator at our school and at others across Wolverhampton. In an open letter to incoming manager Bruno Lage, Year 6 have asked for his personal backing for a campaign they refer to as: ‘Keeping the Heartbeat of the City Going’.

Year 6 have made their own campaign video and will be contacting local businesses in the hope that sponsors may also feel passionately about the benefits of defibrillators for schools.

GoReadathon Champions

13th February 2021Mr J Morgan

It is official, SS Peter and Paul have won the GoReadathon competition. Please see this message from Mrs Byrne.

Dear children,

I am delighted to be able to tell you that we have come first in the Big GoReadthon competition! With your hard work, enthusiasm and efforts we have achieved something extraordinarily special. To win a BIG compeition like this, against many schools far and wide, at a time when schools are not open as they normally would be, is an incredibly special achievement. You know that I personally hoped that we could do well in the competition; I know that we love reading, we recognise how important it is, our staff are passionate about reading and we aim to try our best. I did not expect that we would win overall because so many schools are registered to use GoRead, and so many schools champion reading expertly. I could not be more proud because we have had a bit of fun encouraging and promoting the compeition along the way. We have shared and tracked daily results and we have come together as the BEST TEAM  with a shared goal of doing the very best we could. You can’t do better than first. I can’t wait to share the trophy with you all. Well done to every single one of you. Thank your parents for their support and contribution, thank your teachers and support staff for encouraging you, then give yourself a pat on the back for being NUMBER 1!

Have a wonderful half term, stay safe, be good, patient and happy.

Mrs Byrne
