Our Mission Statement
Learning and growing together
Through prayer, belief and love.
As a Catholic school, Christ’s teaching is at the centre of everything we do. Every person; the pupils, parents, governors and staff; contributes to create our living, witnessing Christian community.
As a school we are especially concerned with learning. Learning should be enjoyable. We aim to motivate the children through quality teaching and a stimulating environment to enable them to become independent learners, and to promote learning through many first hand experiences.
We aim to promote a climate of high expectations in both the academic and social aspects of learning.
We recognise that everyone is equal in the eyes of God and that each pupil has equal worth. So we aim to encourage all to be positive about their own identity and uniqueness.
St Anselm’s Catholic Primary School is within a ten minutes walk of Harrow-on-the-Hill station and just over half-an-hour from the centre of London. The area has good transport services.
