Message from the Head teacher
It is my very great pleasure to welcome you to the community that is
St Anne’s Catholic Primary School. We aim to live as one family based on Gospel Values where mutual respect is practised and where parents and carers are seen as valued partners. Our mission statement ‘Excellence, together with God as our Guide’ is reflected in and through the daily life of the school. Saint Anne’s is a highly inclusive school with priority placed on the richness of learning for all pupils.
I can assure you that the staff and I will do our very best to ensure that the children in our care grow spiritually, intellectually, socially and emotionally so as to reach their full potential.
At Saint Anne’s we pride ourselves on:
Nurturing a love of learning
Developing positive and supportive relationships
Valuing prayer, worship and faith development
Respecting individuals and our environment
Working in partnership with parents, the parish and the wider community
Celebrating the richness of our cultural diversity
The School Community
In St. Anne’s school very positive relationships flourish and pupils thrive. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstanding. Pupils know that their views will be valued. They show care and respect for others and their behaviour is exemplary. Pupils say that they feel free from harassment, racism and bullying and speak glowingly of the support they receive. The school works extremely well in partnership with others to promote learners’ well-being. Reading and Number Partners from the local business community help pupils to develop good skills to use later in their lives. Parent volunteers are also valued members of our school community and we welcome them into the school to share their talents and expertise with the children. The school prospectus is designed and printed using the highest quality papers.
