What the school inspection says

“Pupils are proud to be part of this welcoming and inclusive school. They enjoy coming to school because they appreciate being part of a close-knit, friendly community. Pupils benefit from strong relationships with their teachers … [and] feel safe when they are in school ... The school is ambitious for all pupils ... [and] overall, pupils achieve well. [They] understand their responsibility to behave with respect and consideration for others as part of the St Anselm ‘family’ ... Pupils benefit from an extensive range of enrichment opportunities that develop their skills and self-confidence. The school has a reputation for sporting excellence. However, opportunities extend far beyond sport into music, language trips abroad, art clubs, debating and much more. Students in the sixth form are given extensive leadership opportunities.”
