Community

Here at Ireleth St Peter's, we enjoy playing an active part in community events and helping those around us.

Our Facebook, Instagram and Class Dojo pages show regular updates of everything we engage in. 

Take a look at some of the events we have been involved in....
 


Dowdales Nature Trail - February 2022

Knitting with the Women's Institute - Spring 2022

The children in Whale Class and Shark Class have been enjoying knitting sessions with the ladies from the WI. This is a valuable skill that many of the children had never had the opportunity to try. They have found it tricky but have shown fantastic perseverance.

Every year, ISP enjoys visiting the residents at The Old Vicarage Nursing Home for a carol service.

We even joined together with the residents for a joint rendition of 'We Wish You A Merry Christmas.'
