St Peter’s Christian vision inspires the whole school community to engage in the understanding, respect and tolerance for other World Faiths in the local, national and global community.

To have a secure understanding of Buddhism and the beliefs of the Buddhist Faith, we thought it was important for all the children to look at different aspects of Buddhism in-depth and share their learning.

Please have a look below and read about what we learned, our reflections on this faith and see how similar our shared beliefs are.
