St Antony's Mission Statement

At St. Antony's we offer all that we do to God. We are a school family that respects and supports individuality. We develop children to appreciate their role in the wider community. We nurture life long learners and celebrate achievement as we come to know God's love.

The children pray the motto each day:

Res idonia ad tempus in loco ad deum per Jesum.

(The right thing at the right time in the right place for God through Jesus.)

About the school

The school day begins with prayer celebrated by the whole school before children go in to class. Parents are encouraged to attend collective worship and school masses when these events occur.

The school aims to provide a broad, balanced curriculum, to help each child to reach his or her full potential. Teaching is achieved through a mixture of cross-curricular study, subject work and whole class lessons.

St Antony's has a strong bonds between families who attend the school and the wider parish community.
