MRS JULIE ILLIDGE

Our Partner Primary Manager

Mrs Illidge works closely with all these schools visiting them regularly ensuring relationships between staff and pupils are strong and consistent. Primary pupils visit our school each term. This enables them to become familiarised with our buildings and modern facilities which are available to secondary pupils. These visits are also a great opportunity to meet our outstanding staff and welcoming pupils, which in turn aids a smooth transition into year 7.


Primary pupils visit St Peter’s throughout the year:


Throughout years 5 and 6, primary pupils come to St Peter’s to get a feel for what secondary school life is like. Different schools attend these sessions together, allowing the primary pupils to meet and interact with peers from other schools.

We are all
one community.

By working with primary pupils throughout years five and six, the aim is that they already feel part of the St Peter’s community when they start year seven.

-Mrs Illidge, Primary Partnership Manager
