Catholic Life

At St Anne’s, Catholic life is not just something we teach — it is something we live every day. Our school is a place where faith is seen in action through prayer, kindness, service to others and the joyful way we care for one another. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus and inspired by our patron saint, Catholic life here helps every child grow spiritually, morally and personally.

We create numerous opportunities for pupils to encounter God and reflect on His presence in the world around us. Prayer, both formal and informal, is woven into our daily rhythm — from classroom prayers and reflections to collective worship and whole-school liturgies. These moments help pupils deepen their relationship with God, develop reverence and build a sense of belonging to a faith community.

Living out Catholic life at St Anne’s also means acting with compassion and love. Inspired by the Gospel values, our pupils are encouraged to be kind, respectful and generous — supporting each other, serving our local community, and responding to needs beyond our school. Through charitable initiatives and community-focused projects, children learn that faith calls us to make a real difference in the lives of others.

Our Catholic identity is visible throughout school — from prayer focus areas in every classroom to displays that celebrate faith, learning and spiritual growth. We work alongside families and our parish community to ensure that each child’s journey of faith is encouraged and nurtured both in and beyond the classroom.

In all we do, we strive to live out Christ’s call to love God and love our neighbour, helping our pupils to become compassionate, confident and faithful young people.
