St Anne's Catholic High School for Girls is an all girls Catholic secondary school in London, England and was founded to provide education for Catholic girls aged 11–18.
Contents |
St Anne’s Catholic High School opened on September 1, 1994 following the amalgamation of Holy Family Convent School and St Angela’s School for Girls.
As a Catholic voluntary aided school, the religious education (RE) curriculum and opportunities for spiritual development is in accordance with the doctrines, rites and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. All students study RE from years 7 to 13.
The governing body admits 180 pupils to Year 7 every school year and follows the pastoral system. Within each year group there are six tutor groups, each with a Form Tutor. Each year group has an Achievement Leader who is supported by the team of Form Tutors and members of the Strategic Leadership Team. The support structure has been developed to ensure maximum personal attention to help the students achieve their best.
The girls follow the National Curriculum for the first three years: Mathematics, English, Science, Technology and Information Technology, French, Geography, History, Art, Music, Physical Education and Drama. All students study RE and follow a course of Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE).
In Year 7, subjects are taught in mixed-ability tutor groups, with the exception of Maths where setting is introduced at the end of October. Mixed-ability teaching in Year 7 gives teachers the opportunity to assess the ability of the students during their first year at St. Anne’s.
In Years 10, 11 and the Sixth Form, students have more choice about the subjects they study, through the introduction of Option Subjects. Students have to follow a common curriculum: Religious Education, English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Double Science or Triple Science for the very able students, French, Physical Education and PSHE/Citizenship. All students study a short course in GCSE Citizenship.
In addition, students choose three Option Subjects from the following list: Art & Design, Business Studies, Graphic Products, Food Technology, Textiles, Geography, History, Information Systems, Drama, Musical Studies, and a vocational GCSE in Business Studies, which is the equivalent to two GCSEs.
St. Anne’s has a thriving Sixth Form for students entering Year 12 and wanting to continue their education in a Christian environment. Students of other faiths are also accepted, but whenever there were more applicants than places available, priority is given to Roman Catholic applicants in accordance with the admissions criteria. Enrolment in the Sixth Form has increased each year.
The Sixth Form Centre offers many courses for students, and also for male students from the Enfield Collegiate System. Students entering the Sixth Form Centre have to choose a combination of courses that they are deemed able to pass and which amount to a full-time course of education.
The common Sixth Form curriculum includes General RE, PSHE and community service.
