St Anne’s and Guardian Angels Catholic Primary School

St Anne's and Guardian Angels is a 2 form entry Catholic school in Whitechapel in the borough of Tower Hamlets. 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 Christ at the centre' is reflected in and through the daily life of the school. St Anne's and Guardian Angels is a highly inclusive school with priority placed on the richness of learning for all pupils.

At St Anne's we aim to fulfil our mission by raising attainment through the creation of inclusive cultures, practices and policies. These include equalities and diversity, anti-bullying and anti-racism. At St Anne's School our mission statement is, 'Excellence together with God as our guide.' Our faith is at the heart of everything that we do. At the heart of Catholic education in St Anne’s lies the Christian vision of the human person. Religious education is never simply one subject among many, but the foundation of our entire educational process. The beliefs and values studied in Catholic religious education inspire and draw together every aspect of the life of our school.

Our curriculum is the experience and activities we provide in the school to educate the whole child. The curriculum is designed to develop enjoyment of, and commitment to learning as a means of encouraging and stimulating the best possible progress and the highest attainment for all pupils. It aims to develop pupils’ sense of identity through knowledge and understanding of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural heritages of our diverse society; to enable them to think creatively and critically, to solve problems and to grow into responsible citizens.
