St Peter and St Paul’s Cultural Day
On the 23rd November the school held the launch of an International Project in conjunction with schools in Tanzania. The intention is that 10 schools in the UK will undertake exchange visits with schools in Tanzania during the course of next year subject to funding. A group from Tanzania, ‘World Music Maker’, were in school to help to provide the children with an insight to activities overseas.
