“This is a great opportunity for parents and children to pop along and meet me and have a coffee and a chat. Some of the school governors will also be there to answer your questions. Come and talk to us or ring the school admissions team if you’d like more details.
"The school building seems to change almost daily at the moment. It’s very exciting to watch it evolve and we are very much looking forward to it opening in September. We already have a number of children who have been allocated places in our foundation stage class and we are keen to meet them and their brothers and sisters.
“There has been a lot of interest in the current vacancies; it’s a very exciting prospect to be part of a brand new school with the vision and drive that we have. We are attracting a strong field of talented people who are keen to play a role in making this school a real jewel in its community.”
Paul Thompson, Acting Director of Education for the Diocese of Lincoln, said:
“We are excited that our newest school in the church school family will soon be open to provide a first class education for local families. St Peter and St Paul CE Primary School will be a place which will bring the community together and children can flourish in a secure and caring environment.”
Cllr Rob Waltham, cabinet member for Adult and Children’s Services at North Lincolnshire Council, said:
“The open day on 9 May is a fantastic opportunity for people to find out more about this impressive new school.
“It has been designed to meet the needs of 21st century children and building work is progressing fast.
“Once completed St Peter and St Paul’s will be at the heart of this new community and will cater for more than 200 children.”
