Mission & Vision
“Let your words teach and your actions speak.”
“Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth”. Your actions will speak much louder than any words you will ever say.
-John 1 3:18-
Our Mission is to educate children in the spirit of the Gospel values and the traditions of the Catholic Church, nurturing the talents and potential of everyone. By placing Christ at the Centre of all we do, we embrace our core Catholic virtues of gentleness, forgiveness, and honesty. We witness the ‘sacred grandeur’ in each individual, treat each other with dignity and we serve each other. It allows us to raise our children within our Catholic faith and raise the citizens of the future who respect and love the world we live in.
To fulfil the Church’s mission to evangelise and make Christ known to all, St. Anthony’s Catholic Primary School is committed to:
- providing an education with Christ at the Centre and a strong sense of Catholic identity meeting the spiritual needs of all;
- being a welcoming, compassionate community, where all are equally loved and valued for who they are;
- being an affirming, challenging educational community committed to the search for excellence for all;
- working together as a family community, and with the Diocese of Leeds, to ensure the best possible Catholic education for our young people;
- working in partnership with other local schools, education providers and stakeholders in order to enhance the quality of provision for all;
- living out the social teaching of the Church, and thereby promote community cohesion;
- contributing in joyful hope to the creation of a society which is highly educated, skilled, fundamentally loving and generous.
Vision
Our vision is to prepare children for life, with Jesus, celebrating their uniqueness. Guided by God, through their time at St Anthony’s, our children will develop a strong identity, able to use their knowledge and skills purposefully, making a positive difference in the world, both now and in the future.
