Our Vision and Aims 

“Rooted in love we flourish and grow’ 

At St Peter’s Cross Keys C of E Primary Academy, we educate for wisdom and aspiration with the help of the church and the community through a culture of dignity and respect. We aim to cultivate the inner values of all pupils to give them the opportunities to succeed in life. 

“’Jesus said that the kingdom of God is like a little mustard seed. This seed is very tiny at first, but this is just the beginning of something. When this little seed is planted it grows into a huge tree, a tree so big that birds come and sit on its branches!’ 

Matthew (13:31 – 32)
