Here at St Anne’s, we are guide by our mission statement: “Loving God in all we do”. This embodies everything we do here at St Anne’s and is shown through our kindness, respect, and compassion for everyone each day. As a school family, we work together to help others, make choices that reflect our school values both in learning and in relationships. We firmly believe in providing the best possible education and pastoral support for all our children with the teachings of Jesus Christ at the centre of all we do. We promise that every child will be nurtured, supported and encouraged to grow in confidence, develop their talents and reach their full potential. We are proud to be an inclusive community where every child and family is warmly welcomed. As a Catholic school, we embrace families of all faiths and of none, recognising that it is our shared values, and not our differences, that bring us together. Our strong partnership with our families and our parish community is central to the success of our school. Together, we ensure that every child receives the very best educational offer and feels part of a vibrant, faith-filled community. Our children our proud to belong to St Anne’s. They feel safe, cared for and happy and speak enthusiastically about what makes our school a special place. They are supported by a dedicated staff team who are committed to providing the very best education and pastoral care. Our curriculum is broad, stimulating and ambitious. Reading and communication sit at the heart of learning, and our maths curriculum challenges children to adopt a resilient mindset, where problem solving becomes fun!. Above all, we inspire children to be curious, courageous, and confident learners who are willing to take risks, discover new talents, and appreciate the world God has entrusted to us. You are most welcome to come and visit us at any time to hear and see for yourself the special place that St Anne’s is.
Learn MoreOur Wonderful School Dog!
We are delighted to introduce Coco, our much-loved school dog and a very special member of our school family!
Coco is a Cockalier-poo ( a mix of Cocker Spaniel Cavalier King Charles and small poodle), carefully chosen from a reputable breeder who specialises in breeding dogs for therapy work. The breed is well known for its gentle, calm and affectionate temperament — qualities that Coco certainly demonstrates every day. Coco is also low-shedding and considered more allergy-friendly, making her particularly well suited to a school environment.
Coco is currently undertaking a rigorous training programme with PAWS Therapy Dog Training, helping her to develop the skills and behaviours needed to support children safely and effectively within a school environment. Her training is an ongoing process, and we are incredibly proud of the progress she is making.
When Coco isn't busy supporting our children at school, she lives at home with Miss Dewhurst, where she enjoys being part of the family and getting plenty of rest, cuddles and playtime. This gives Coco a lovely balance between her important role at school and her life as a much-loved family pet.
Her gentle presence brings joy, comfort and a little bit of extra happiness to the school day. We feel incredibly lucky to have her and look forward to seeing her continue to grow into her important role.
Miss D Dewhurst
