Pupils love being part of this welcoming and diverse community.
They benefit from the high-quality nurture and care that the school provides. Pupils' attendance is exceptionally high. They do not want to miss out on school life.
The school's values of 'we love, we learn, we share, we pray' spread through every aspect of the school's work. Pupils follow the 'St Anne Line way' and treat each other and adults with the utmost respect and kindness. Pupils are polite and considerate of the differences between themselves and others.
They help each other with their learning and support their peers on the playground. Pupils say they 'are never short of a friend' becau...se the anti-bullying ambassadors make sure no one is lonely.
Pupils live up to the school's very high expectations.
They behave exceptionally well and have positive attitudes to their learning. All pupils, regardless of background or need, achieve well. Across a range of subjects including art, music and mathematics, adults support pupils to be successful.
A range of exciting clubs, trips and experiences complement the ambitious curriculum. From singing in the varied choirs and running the school radio station to boxing clubs and crochet, there is something here for everyone.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school's unique curriculum is rich in knowledge and covers a range of ambitious subjects, such as Latin.
Key knowledge is outlined and sequenced well so that pupils build their understanding as they progress through the school. Pupils make strong connections between other subjects, which reinforces their learning further. For example, pupils use and practise their drawing skills when planning a project in computing.
The school continually evaluates, refines and improves the curriculum to ensure it reflects the changing needs and background of its pupils. The strong focus on learning key vocabulary, for instance, benefits all pupils, including those who speak English as an additional language.
Across the school, highly trained staff teach the curriculum very well.
In class, staff choose effective activities that fully engage pupils and support them with their learning. Staff explain new ideas clearly and use effective questioning. They check regularly on what pupils know.
This helps staff to close gaps in pupils' understanding. Staff know the needs of all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities. This means that, where needed, pupils get effective and appropriate extra help and support in class or in the 'Beehive'.
Consequently, pupils' confidence improves and they make great strides in their learning. Therefore, all pupils achieve well, including in national curriculum tests.
A wide range of carefully chosen books form the backbone of the curriculum.
Pupils enjoy these books and read regularly at home. Staff bring stories to life. The diverse range of texts support pupils' language development and understanding of different cultures effectively.
A well-structured phonics scheme is in place to help pupils who find reading tricky. Staff identify weaker readers early on and give them effective support to catch up and keep up with their peers.
The school's approach to securing good behaviour is exemplary.
When pupils join the school, they are taught about the school's values and how to behave. If pupils make mistakes, they are put back on track with care and support. Lessons are calm and take place without interruption.
A highly effective personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education curriculum helps pupils to learn about numerous interesting and relevant topics in an age-appropriate way. Aligning closely to the school's ethos, the PSHE curriculum builds pupils' character effectively. Pupils are highly skilled in listening to each other and discussing their different perspectives.
They become responsible and respectful citizens. They relish their leadership roles and the opportunity to make a difference to their community.
Staff at all levels are passionate about the school being the best it can be.
They act with humility and determination to seek out and put in place the best opportunities for pupils. Governors and the diocese offer appropriate challenge and support to help the school in its journey to provide the best possible education and care for its pupils.
