Our Mission:

St Anne's continues the mission of Christ entrusted to the Church to "go and teach" and seeks to foster and promote Christian spirituality within an ethos of inclusivity and pastoral care.

Integral to the vision that underpins all aspects of life in our Catholic school is the dignity of the human person made in the image and likeness of God. It includes a recognition of the self-worth and value of every child and the fostering of the key values of Catholic education.

Through the promotion of mutual understanding and respect for all ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds, we seek to create an inclusive and supportive environment in which all members of our school
community feel valued.

We aim to provide a caring and safe environment in which all children can grow in self-esteem, independence and confidence. Our care for the children enables their holistic development; spiritually, physically, intellectually, morally, emotionally and socially. Arising from this commitment to develop each individual child, a culture of achievement, improvement and ambition exists which is underpinned by a clear expectation that all pupils can and
will achieve to the very best of their ability.

Learning together, 'ag foghlaim le chéile', we grow as a community in which children, parents, staff and governors demonstrate a commitment to achieving high standards, mutual care and support of each other whilst being constantly invited to rediscover what it is to follow Christ and to give witness to the centrality of Gospel values.
