Welcome

A very warm welcome to St. Anne’s CE Primary School and Nursery.

We hope our website gives you a clear and inspiring insight into life at our school — a place where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to flourish.

Situated in a quiet area of Sale, serving the Parish of St Anne’s, we are proud to be a school rooted in strong Christian values. Our vision, “Let their light shine,” is at the heart of everything we do. It reflects our commitment to nurturing each child’s unique gifts and potential, enabling them to grow in confidence, character and faith.

This vision is lived out through our core values of inspire, challenge, care and respect. These values underpin school life, shaping our relationships, guiding our learning, and creating a community where everyone feels supported and encouraged to be their very best.

At St Anne’s, we are committed to providing an ambitious and engaging curriculum that both inspires and challenges our pupils to achieve highly. We believe that academic success and personal development go hand in hand, and we encourage children to be curious, resilient learners who take pride in their achievements.

Our children are happy, motivated and eager to learn. Through high-quality teaching, thoughtful support and a nurturing environment, we ensure that every child has the opportunity to reach their full academic, social and spiritual potential.

Visitors often comment on the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes our school so special. We are a strong and caring community, working closely in partnership with parents and carers to provide the very best for our children.

We warmly invite prospective parents to visit us and experience first-hand what makes St Anne’s such a special place to learn and grow.

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.
