St Anne's Catholic Primary School

Our warm and friendly atmosphere makes St. Anne’s a great place to learn, where children feel safe and develop into responsible young adults. They leave us well rounded and caring individuals with a strong sense of community, justice and democracy.

In 2015 due to our excellent reputation, popularity and our continued success in supporting all children to make the progress of which they are capable, St. Anne’s was chosen by the local Authority for expansion into a two form entry school.

All our children are incredibly happy and have a very positive attitude to learning. The diversity of race and culture of our families adds to the rich tapestry of St Anne’s community where children and adults have genuine respect for each other and enjoy learning with and from each other.

We work extremely hard to develop a core and extra curriculum which inspires and excites children. We ask our children to be the best they can be and we do our best every single day for every single child. We are a fully inclusive school.

We are all very, very proud of our school. We often welcome past pupils back to school and support them in their work experience or college placements. We love to hear of the successes of our former pupils.

We are always keen to listen to ideas and opinions from our children, parents and carers. These are gathered formally twice a year.

In St Anne's, the Friendship School, we follow in the footsteps of Jesus growing closer to God through prayer, worship, work and play.

We all do our best and show respect, love and care for everyone, helping each other live out their faith in today's world.

At St Anne's Catholic Primary School we are determined to create an inclusive culture of learning where all children will be challenged in their thinking, to achieve to the best of their abilities and strive to become lifelong learners.

We value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of all pupils and families and undertake a variety of events and lessons to celebrate these. We will empower our children to become respected citizens to enable them to make valuable contributions locally, globally and to contribute to our world's sustainable future.

At St Anne's Catholic Primary School we believe that high standards result from an emphasis on creative, cross-curricular and skills-based learning, engendering an enjoyment of learning but with a rigorous emphasis on skills development and progress.

The Creative Challenge Curriculum has a themed approach. We hope the themes will speak to our children, our parents and our wider school community. Core Values are embedded within our teaching and learning and formally planned for throughout the academic year.

Through these themes, children can appreciate the links between subjects, which further develop their understanding. We have reflected our changing world with themes like “Going Global”, and our commitment to celebrating different cultures with the themes “Bollywood” and “Carnival Fever.” Our own communities are celebrated in the themes “In my Liverpool Home” and “Magical Mystery Tour.”

We plan units of work, within themes, emphasising Maths, English, ICT and creative links so that all dimensions of learning are explored and developed. We have devised our curriculum on a two yearly cycle, cross curricular approach. Our Creative Challenge Curriculum is a working, developing document, whereby planning, teaching and learning is continually evaluated, monitored and revised in light of subject monitoring.

At our school we strongly promote self-respect for all in our school irrespective of race, creed or gender. Care will be taken to ensure that resources do not present stereo-typical images or gender bias, rather role models from diverse backgrounds and cultures reflecting the diverse nature of our society.

We will empower our children to become respected citizens to enable them to make valuable contributions locally, globally and to contribute to our world’s sustainable future.
