St Annes Catholic Voluntary Academy
About Our School
St Anne’s Catholic Voluntary Academy is a Roman Catholic primary school for children aged 5–11, forming part of the St Ralph Sherwin Catholic Multi Academy Trust and welcoming both Catholic and non-Catholic families into a close-knit, inclusive community. Its mission is to lead children to be like Jesus – wise, caring, honest and fair, today and every day – with high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities. The school was judged Good in all areas at its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2022, with inspectors highlighting the calm behaviour, strong sense of safety, and “inclusive, family atmosphere.” Staff place emphasis on wider opportunities such as clubs, pupil parliament and performances, and the school promotes a supportive working culture as part of a wider Catholic trust, which may appeal to prospective job applicants seeking collaboration, professional development and a values-led environment.
