Still unsure about Nursery or Reception for September?
Choosing a school for your child is a big decision, and it’s completely natural to feel unsure, especially if things haven’t quite fallen into place yet.
At St Anne’s Primary School, we welcome enquiries from families who are still exploring their options and would like to see whether our school might be the right place for their child, even if we were not their first choice during the admissions process. It’s not too late to come and see us.
Many parents tell us that visiting a school in person, meeting the staff, seeing the classrooms, and getting a feel for the community really helps them make a confident decision.
Come and See St Anne’s for Yourself
We are happy to offer individual tours for families who would like to look around, ask questions, and find out more about daily life at St Anne’s. These visits are relaxed and informal, and there’s no pressure, just an opportunity to see whether our nurturing, inclusive environment feels right for your child.
If you’re considering a move, exploring your options, or simply want reassurance that you’re making the best choice, we would be delighted to welcome you.

SIAMS Inspection Success
We are absolutely delighted to share our recent SIAMS inspection report with you. We are immensely proud of the outcome, and we hope you enjoy reading the many positive affirmations of St Anne’s.
This exceptional report is truly representative of our whole school community. It reflects the dedication and commitment of our staff, leaders, governors, parents, church partners and, of course, our wonderful pupils. Together, we live out our vision to “Let Your Light Shine,” and this inspection confirms the powerful impact of that shared purpose.
The inspector was deeply impressed with what St Anne’s offers its pupils and wider community, identifying many strengths that he encouraged us to share beyond our school. These notable strengths include:
The report highlights how our vision, “Let Your Light Shine,” is at the centre of pupils’ and adults’ spiritual, academic and social flourishing, and how our strong partnership with the church and community enriches school life. The inspector praised the way pupils are nurtured through worship, curriculum and relationships, and noted that behaviour is exemplary because school values are thoughtfully lived out. He also recognised the powerful impact of our curriculum, including enriching experiences and global links that inspire pupils to care for others and the wider world.
We are overwhelmed by the success of this inspection and incredibly proud of what our community has achieved together. We remain deeply committed to ensuring that every individual at St Anne’s is supported, valued, and encouraged to let their light shine.
