About this company

During the time you spend at St Ann’s Well, you will notice that every child is known and valued as an individual so that they feel safe and secure, and enjoy their time at school. We are a school where everyone really does matter and we work hard to nurture confidence, self-esteem and independence in order for the children to move on in their lives as successful, self-motivated learners. As a culturally diverse school serving an inner-city area, we place great emphasis on the successful acquisition of the basic skills of Literacy and Mathematics as a springboard for future success. We also know that the promotion of every child’s self-esteem, sense of responsibility and curiousity are vital building blocks to the development of rounded, successful young people. The key to this development is providing outstanding teaching which reflects and responds to both the academic and the social and emotional needs of the children. Through high expectations, personalising the learning experience and providing accurately targeted support which is clear about the intended outcomes, we can maximise the progress which can be made by children of all abilities and backgrounds.
