St Anne Line Catholic Nursery

At St Anne Line Catholic Infant School we believe that a strong foundation in reading, writing, mathematics, and other core subjects is a vital part of school life, but we consider that the spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding is fundamental to the development of our children, central to their growth and at the heart of what we would say education is about.
Our school values interlink with the fundamental British values of: Democracy, Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Mutual Respect and Tolerance; our pupils are prepared for life as citizens of the United Kingdom.
Each school within the Brentwood Diocese nominates a pupil to be their Citizen of the Year.
Democratic values are an intrinsic part of St. Anne Line Catholic Infant Schools ethos.
The school helps pupils to develop their understanding of individual liberty, self-knowledge, confidence and self-esteem through our Catholic ethos particularly in our expectations of how we treat each other.
Our families at St Anne Line Catholic Infant School often choose a Catholic education for their child as they wish them to have a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith.
Religious education is central to the ethos of our school.
We believe that childrens educational experiences should support their progress as moral people and citizens in addition to their academic progress.
We offer a wide range of experiences and activities, which combined with our general school policies promote each childs personal development of the core values needed to be a successful, productive and valuable member of our society.
We think of other people in our community and work hard to raise money and collect funds, food or resources for those in need.
Our annual Harvest Festival food collection is donated to our local Food Bank.
Our Golden Rules have been developed to ensure the messages about the Rule of Law is consistently delivered to the children.
