Translate / Traduire / Übersetzen / Tłumaczyć / Išversti / Tulkot / Traducir at St Antonys, our Catholic ethos is permeated in everything we do and is apparent to all those who enter our school. God is at the heart of our school. With the help of our community, we will strive to learn, love and achieve.
We are a friendly and welcoming community where children learn in a safe and supportive environment. We see parents and carers as partners in developing a child spiritually, morally and socially. As a Catholic school, we value our distinctive nature and work to nurture these values in our children.
We work closely with the home and parish to foster and deepen the children's faith and to develop a caring attitude that reflects Gospel values and respect for each other as individuals. Our parish priest is a regular visitor to our school and we enjoy visiting our church on special occasions as both a school and parish community.
Our Vision describes how we are going to achieve our over-arching purpose in the next 3 years. VISION seeks to answer the question: Where are we going?
