Welcome

Welcome to St. Anthony’s School website. Our School caters for students 5-16 with a range of behaviour, emotional, social and learning difficulties.

All pupils follow the National Curriculum in differentiated ways; high levels of staff support ensure individual needs can be met.

Developing personal, social and health needs is a major theme in school. We build on natural talent and interest to promote self esteem in order to tackle more challenging issues, whether that be educational, emotional and behavioural.

We pride ourselves on having an extremely positive ethos. This is based on self management through a framework of well established boundaries and routines, motivational tasks, successful intervention and rewards for achievement. The school offers a wide range of support to enable this to happen.

St. Anthony’s has a thriving ‘extended school’ agenda and all pupils can access after school and holiday clubs. Involving the wider community especially parents is also an extremely important facet of our work through parents support, family days out, inter-generational projects and a variety of other community links.
