Individual School Photographs – Wednesday 30 September

A reminder that individual school photographs will be taking place on Wednesday 30 September. Please ensure that your child comes to school in full school uniform. If your child has PE on this day, they should still arrive wearing their school uniform instead of their PE kit. Further information regarding photograph ordering will be sent home once the photographs have been taken.

National Poetry Day 2026

On Thursday 1 October, we will be celebrating National Poetry Day, the UK's biggest celebration of poetry. This year's theme is "Wonder", encouraging children to explore the things that amaze and inspire them.

Throughout the day, pupils will enjoy reading, sharing and creating poems. Why not join in at home by reading a favourite poem together or helping your child write a poem about something they wonder about?

St Peter's Chorister Day

In a world of screens, it’s important to find things that give children the chance to focus. St Peter's Choir provides the chance to develop teamwork and other skills. St Peter’s Church is inviting children in years 3 – 6 for a day of singing and fun. Over the course of the day, they will have the chance to learn some songs and find out about being a chorister at Berkhamsted’s parish church. The day will end with a short concert, in which they’ll appear alongside existing members of the choir. No previous experience is required, just a good singing voice and bags of enthusiasm!
