Mission Statement – St Anne's Catholic Primary School

St Anne’s Catholic Primary School Mission Statement

‘We love, we learn and we grow together.’

In St Anne’s, we love, we learn and we grow together.

Aims of our School Community

CHRIST CENTERED AIM

Gospel values are at the heart of all we think, say and do.

COMMUNITY AIM

With our community, we ensure all are welcomed, respected and valued.

EDUCATION AIM

A school that develops and celebrates individual growth.

Living Our Mission

We want to help all our children grow into caring, sharing, responsible citizens who know that they have a valued place in this world and society and can make a real difference.

We therefore work closely with our children in selecting charities to support in order to help them see how our prayers and actions ripple out locally, nationally and globally for example:

The Nugent Care Society supports children locally.
Children in Need supports children nationally.
Cafod supports children globally.
Our Harvest Festival always supports locally.
The Poppy appeal supports nationally.

This Christmas the School Council have decided to support Homeless in Liverpool (White Chapel).

Every year our choir brings joy to local Care Homes.

We are a School of Sanctuary

At St Anne’s we are committed to ensuring that our children and their families, staff and the community understand what it means to be seeking sanctuary and the struggles asylum seekers and refugees face. We extend a welcome to everyone as equal and valued members of our school community.

We work hard to ensure that our school is a welcoming and safe place for all. We are not just a sanctuary for those whose lives were in danger in their own country, but to any child who may be experiencing difficulties at home or just needs a place to feel safe and secure.

What is a School of Sanctuary?

A school of Sanctuary is a school that helps its children, staff and wider community understand what it means to be seeking sanctuary and to extend a welcome to everyone as equal valued members of the school community. It is a school that is proud to be a place of safety and inclusion for all.

School of Sanctuary status – reaccreditation

We continue to work towards achieving our reaccreditation as a School of Sanctuary in January 2025 as a whole school team as:

Governors are fully supportive of our commitment to promote positive attitudes within our school.
Staff are delivering an excellent curriculum which supports this ethos and helps our children foster awareness and understanding of the cultural contexts within which they and others live.

We would welcome any suggestions or ideas parents may have as we continue our School of Sanctuary journey.

We look forward to sharing more details of our School of Sanctuary reaccreditation later this term, displaying the wonderful work that our school community is doing to ensure that St Anne’s is a safe and welcoming place for all.
