Our events

A full year of things worth turning up for.

From the buzz of the Christmas Fair to a quiet glass of prosecco at Wreath Making, our events raise the money that funds everything on the home page, and they're where the school community comes together.

The big two

Our flagship fairs

Christmas Fair

The highlight of the winter term: stalls run by every year group, tombola, bouncy castle, reindeer bags, biscuit decorating and a visit from Father Christmas with a wrapped book for every child. Tokens go on sale at pick-up in the week before.

Summer Fair

BBQ, ice cream, inflatables, face painting, teddy swap and stalls across the field straight after school. This year's fair was described by staff as the best the school has run, and we intend to top it.

Through the year

Regulars on the PTA calendar

School Discos

Run by year group so every age gets a party pitched right, with tokens for hot dogs, sweets and slushies. A rite of passage.

Quiz Night

Teams of up to eight, heads & tails, a bingo round and a fiercely contested best team name prize. Bring your own food and drink.

Movie Night

Pyjamas and teddies welcome. A family film in the Primary Hall with a cookie and a carton of chocolate milk included in the ticket.

Wreath Making

An adults-only December evening on the secondary site: fresh foliage, expert guidance and a glass of prosecco on arrival.

Cake Sales & Raffles

Small, regular and mighty: cake sales typically raise around £300 each, and our Easter and Christmas raffles are packed with donated prizes from local businesses.

Community & one-offs

Colour runs, barn dances, scooter decorating, Grow-a-Pound and welcome events for new Reception families. If it sounds fun and raises money for pupils, we'll try it.

Could you donate a raffle prize? Local businesses and parents regularly donate prizes for our raffles and quiz nights, and every donor is credited on the day. Email info@stpeterspta.com; we'd love to hear from you.
