St Peter’s Hosts a Year 7 ISSP Breakthrough Event




St Peter’s Hosts a Year 7 ISSP Breakthrough Event

Community Partnerships


Year 7 pupils from across York joined some of our own J4s to gather in the Shepherd Hall at St Peter’s 8-13 for a stimulating ISSP (Independent State Schools Partnership) Breakthrough afternoon.

Pupils listened to fascinating, short speeches from a number of teachers from different schools, including our very own Mrs Hall.

Teachers took turns to argue why either Literature, Numbers, Planting the First Seed, Toilets or Fire were the greatest breakthroughs of all time.

Following juice and biscuits, pupils posed interesting questions to the speakers including whether we could have agriculture without fire and whether the spoken word helps us to survive. After a final few minutes of debate, the pupils voted Fire the winner.

We were delighted to host this important gathering. Another wonderful ISSP afternoon of collaborating across schools to tackle big ideas together!
