We have a strong commitment to develop their personal skills and qualities that will enable them to live successful lives within society. We do our best at all times to nurture the children in our care, developing self- esteem and confidence in their abilities so that they fulfil potential and are proud of their achievements. The School Curriculum At St Peter’s School all children follow a broad, balanced and vibrant curriculum that is matched to the individual needs of each child, aims to maximise their ability and potential and fulfils the objectives set out in the 2014 national curriculum. Literacy We use English to communicate in both written and spoken form. We use language to build our view and opinion of the world and our community. We continue to learn, develop and enhance our knowledge and understanding of English throughout our lives. English is taught daily with work appropriately differentiated to match all abilities. With parental support, we want our children to: speak clearly and confidently in any situation. listen actively and respond appropriately, developing knowledge and opinion. read fluently for both pleasure and information. write clearly and with confidence in any given genre. use spelling rules, phonics and grammar accurately. be able to proof-read their own work and make amendments and improvements. Most importantly, we aim to nurture in the children a love of literature and language, and the confidence to continue reading and writing throughout their lives. Read, Write Inc. forms the foundation for early reading and spelling strategies. Children will have the opportunity to investigate patterns in words and learn how to spell them. We use a cursive handwriting style, which leads easily to joined-up writing. You will be given more information about cursive writing when your child starts school. Numeracy Maths is used every day whether we realise it or not! For example, we check our change when out shopping, estimate the cost of a new carpet or decide what time we need to leave home to get to the station. We aim to provide our children with a wide mathematical education taught in an enjoyable, relevant and creative way. We use ‘real life’ experiences so children begin to understand the importance of applying maths skills in order to solve problems and engage them for future learning. Children are given a wide range of opportunities to develop mathematical skills; practically, through investigations, problem solving and in the development of mental strategies. Pupils explore shape and space and develop their measuring skills in a range of contexts. - 8 - They are given lots of opportunity to discuss their methods and encouraged to use the appropriate mathematical vocabulary. We want our children to know and understand mathematical concepts, skills, facts, relationships and strategies and be able to apply and communicate these in a confident way. Science Through Science we hope to develop a child’s curiosity of the world around them.

  • A History of Three Sisters Recreation Area Ashton-In-Makerfield by Ian Winstanley
    A History of Three Sisters Recreation Area Ashton-in-Makerfield By Ian Winstanley A LITTLE of the HISTORY of ASHTON-in-MAKERFIELD ROGER LOWE of Ashton-in-Makerfield GARSWOOD HALL COLLIERIES LAST DAY AT GARSWOOD HALL - A Story in Pictures. THE ASHTON HERMIT ASHTON GOLF CLUB RECLAMATION THREE SISTERS RACE TRACK FRIENDS OF THREE 3 SISTERS (FO3S) A LITTLE of the HISTORY of ASHTON-in- MAKERFIELD THE coal mining industry which despoiled much of south Lancashire's pastoral appearance, resulted at Bryn in the formation of huge conical spoil heaps - the Three Sisters for which the recreation area was named, and which were often humorously referred to by locals as the 'Wigan Alps'! They were over 150ft high, and like the Alps dominated the skyline for many miles around. Mining for coal at this site by the Garswood Hall Colliery Company began in 1865 and finished when the colliery closed in 1958. Moving back in time, to the very earliest documented history of the immediate surroundings of Three Sisters, nearby Ashton lies midway between the towns of Warrington and Wigan, both of which were military forts during the Roman occupation of Britain, and called 'Wilderspool' and 'Coccium' respectively. The Roman road between the two approximately follows today's modern A49, and as few Roman remains have been found here, it seems as though Ashton was only 'en- route' for the Roman Army. However, as many visitors touch on the A49 before arriving at Three Sisters perhaps an imaginative thought should be spared for the thousands of Italian foot soldiers who marched this way almost 20 centuries ago.

  • Ancestor Moves from Wales to Cheshire County, England
    The Garretts – Before America Page 21 Ancestor Moves from Wales to Cheshire County, England William and Katherine’s son, William Fitzwilliam Fitzgerald is my direct ancestor. He did not inherit Carew Castle, etc. and did not go to Ireland. He left home (Carew Castle in Wales) and moved to Cheshire County where his mother’s family was from. The map on the left shows that Cheshire County adjoins Wales to the northeast. The black squares and line shows that William FitzWilliam FitzGerald moved from Castle Carew in southern Wales to the County of Cheshire on the northeast border of Wales. There, he became the Justice of Eyre for the County of Chester where Kingsley was located. As near as I can tell, “Justice of Eyre” means that he was “sheriff” of the forests in the county where he was to prevent poaching, etc. The area of Kingsley can be found on map on the next page. Before William FitzWilliam FitzGerald moved to Cheshire County, he may have married Alina De Clare who was also from Pembroke, Wales. On the other hand, there is strong evidence that she married William FitzWilliam FitzGerald’s cousin William FitzMaurice FitzGerald. She was the daughter of Richard Strongbow FitzGilbert De Clare. This is the same Richard Strongbow, who with William’s uncles, were prominent in the Invasion of Ireland. There is a tremendous amount of history on the De Clare ancestors. They were from France and before that they were Vikings. See Appendix 2 for Garrett Ancestors in France and Appendix 3 for Garrett Ancestors That Were Vikings.
