We are delighted to share that 12 of our prefects have now been appointed In an unusual but exciting decision, Mr Sales will be appointing 14 prefects this year, with the final two announced at the end of February! (A couple of our prefects are missing from this shot... they were off representing the school in other activities at the time!) #StPiransSchool #StudentLeadership #Prefects #SchoolCommunity #LeadingByExample #InspiringConfidence
Today we welcomed Berkshire Birds of Prey into school, where the children learned all about these magnificent birds. The session was packed with curiosity and some brilliant facts: - Birds of prey live everywhere in the world except Antarctica - Their eyesight is designed for long-distance vision they'd actually need glasses to read! Black eyes = nighttime hunters Yellow eyes = daytime hunters Orange eyes = dusk and dawn hunters It was a truly memorable experience and the children were captivated throughout. You can see more from the visit over on our Instagram page!

Today is a very special day. Today is Good Friday. Our school chapel is undecorated and silent this morning as we quietly contemplate Christ's sacrifice and the importance of forgiveness. But did you know that Good used to mean Holy, as in the Good Book and Good Wednesday. This is why today is called Good Friday. It's a very Holy day. #easter #chapel #church #goodfriday #maidenhead #holyweek
What's your favourite animal? Just some of the amazing wildlife from our recent exchange to South Africa. Some incredible work from the teams in both countries created the most amazing memories that will last a lifetime. What an adventure!
Whatever age you start at St Piran's you'll be learning to swim in our pool, even if you're just two! Swimming is so important for children and it's a part of our timetable throughout the school. This week barracudas_activity_day_camps have been making the most of it here in Maidenhead and there's still another week of fun with them ahead! #swimming #maidenhead #activities #holiday #holidaycamp #barracudas #school #pool
On the fourth Sunday of Lent we want to wish you all a very happy Mother's Day. A few members of the team visited St Luke's in Maidenhead today to share prayers for our community and Mothers all over the world. To our Mums who are parents here, members of our staff, and the wider St Piran's family, thank you for all that you do and we hope you had a beautiful day #mothersday #maidenhead #stlukes #motheringsunday #lent #sunday #sundaymood
