Welcome to St Annes R.C. Primary School, Blackburn We are a busy but friendly school, with lots going on. We aim to give you a taster of the school, as well as providing regularly updated information for parents and pupils.
At St Annes, we are committed to providing equal opportunities for all our children and continually developing an inclusive school environment that respects the unique qualities each child brings.
We strive to ensure that every member of our school community feels valued and is supported to develop academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually to the very best of their ability. We are all on a journey together. As a Catholic community, we value every single member as a unique creation made in the image of God.
We work together to help everyone realise their God-given talents and their special part in Gods plan. Our school is a place of peace, tolerance, and fairness, where we follow Christ's example of loving God and loving others. Our ultimate aim is to give our community the prospects, belief, and hope that every tomorrow can be a better day.
