St Anne's Catholic High School for Girls

Privilege to welcome to our website. Whether they are an existing or prospective parent, member of staff, student past or present, it will provide they with an insight to life within our Learning Family. they will see that St. Anne’s Catholic High School offers an outstanding education, where academic success is complemented by breadth of achievement. Every facet of school life is underpinned by the gospel values and delivering high quality education is the norm. We do not ‘hot house’ – rather, we focus on helping each individual girl discover and hone her special talents, rather than demand she conform to a pre-determined mould.

The school serves young women so they are equipped to find success in life, wherever they choose to look for it. We strive to inspire our students in their studies and be creative thinkers. St. Anne’s is an environment in which students are confident and personable, with highly developed social skills – we are a school that aims to forge lifelong friendships.

St. Anne's Catholic High School for Girls was founded by and is part of the Catholic Church. The school is conducted as a Catholic school in accordance with the Canon Law and the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, and in accordance with the Trust Deed of the Archdiocese of Westminster. St. Anne's Catholic High School for Girls will offer a positive presence in Enfield with a comprehensive curriculum delivered in modern facilities, equipping students with the ability to meet the challenges of the 21st Century confidently, and with high spiritual and moral standards. We recognise that students, parents, staff and governors make up the school's community which will continually self-evaluate to improve itself effectively and efficiently in all aspects of its growth.

As a Catholic School we are greatly inspired by our patroness, St. Anne, the mother of Mary. There are strong links with St. Anne and education as the tradition is that it was St. Anne who taught Mary to read. However, when we reflect on this tradition we think not just of education in the sense of learning to read or passing exams, but also in terms of faith. St. Anne taught Mary about the goodness of God and so she is an excellent example for us of someone who, by her example of faith, inspires others to trust in God too. As a Catholic school we recognise our dependence on God for all that we have and achieve and it is this ethos that permeates everything we do in school.
