MISSION STATEMENT

Vision and Mission

Our vision is to be a vibrant, joyful community that reflects the love of Christ. We strive to be a beacon of hope for our local area, welcoming all and celebrating the diversity that enriches our school.

Our mission is to provide an exceptional educational experience that equips each child with the knowledge, skills, and character to thrive. Guided by the teachings of Jesus, we encourage our children to develop a deep love of learning, a spirit of service, and a profound respect for one another.

Core Values

Love: We believe that every child is uniquely created and loved by God. Our school is a place of unconditional acceptance, where each member of our community is valued and empowered to reach their full potential.

Respect: We foster a culture of mutual respect, where children learn to appreciate the dignity of every person. Through our words and actions, we model respect for diversity, the environment, and the common good.

Service: Inspired by the example of Jesus, we encourage our children to be agents of positive change in the world. We provide opportunities for them to serve their local and global communities, developing a heart of compassion and a commitment to the common good.

Educational Approach

At St Ann's, we believe that every child is unique and loved by God. Our educational approach is rooted in this fundamental truth, guiding us to nurture the individual gifts and talents of each child.

We challenge our children to strive for excellence in all areas of their lives, supporting them to develop a growth mindset and the resilience to overcome obstacles. Through a rich and engaging curriculum, we empower them to become independent, lifelong learners who are well-equipped to make a positive difference in the world.

Living Out Our Ethos

Our ethos is not just a set of words, but a lived reality that permeates every aspect of school life. In the classroom, you will see children collaborating with respect, supporting one another, and taking pride in their achievements. In the playground, you will witness acts of kindness and inclusion, as children put their faith into practice.

Our staff are exemplary role models, demonstrating the values of love, respect, and service in their relationships with each other and the children. They go the extra mile to provide exceptional pastoral care, ensuring that the needs of the most vulnerable are met with compassion and understanding.

The physical environment of our school also reflects our ethos, with vibrant displays, sacred spaces, and well-maintained facilities that communicate the dignity and worth of each person. Our Prayer Leadership team plays a central role in nurturing the spiritual development of our community, offering a dynamic and creative programme of opportunities for prayer, reflection, and discernment.

As a school family, we are united in our commitment to following Jesus and empowering each other to be the best we can be. Through our shared journey of learning and growth, we strive to make a lasting impact on our local community and the world beyond.
