Peterhouse Church of England Primary Academy

Peterhouse Church of England Primary Academyの全貌を丁寧に掘り下げてご紹介します。

Ah, the million-pound question! Peterhouse doesn’t just drill numbers and letters into kids. They lean into project-based learning and hands-on stuff. Think less “copy from the board” and more “let’s build a Roman aqueduct out of cardboard and tape.” Ever seen a six-year-old explain the water cycle with a hand-drawn diagram and a straight face? It’s adorable and brilliant at the same time.

They also have a forest school program. Yes, you read that right. Kids get to go outside, get muddy, learn about bugs, and build dens. It’s basically Jungle Book meets Blue Peter, with a sprinkle of science. Why sit at a desk all day when you can learn about gravity by dropping a potato off a log? Exactly.

The people make the place

Of course, a school is only as good as its people, and Peterhouse has a reputation for having some seriously dedicated teachers. I’ve heard stories of teachers staying late to help a struggling reader or organizing a last-minute “dress as your favourite book character” day because, well, why not? They seem to get that childhood is fleeting, and they want to pack it with good memories.

And the parents? They’re all in. There’s a strong Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) that throws cake sales and discos like it’s a side hustle. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows your name—or at least your child’s name. It’s community in action, not just a buzzword on a brochure.
