St Anthony's
Catholic Primary School

Statement of Values and Ethos

St Anthony’s values and ethos comes directly from our Catholic Life and Mission, which is lived out through following our School Charter. Please visit our Catholic Life and Mission page.

As a school we support the Mental Health of all our community. To support this, we have undertaken training in Trauma Informed Practices.

Life can get a little bit tricky sometimes. That’s why we believe being a Trauma Informed School is so important for us.

What does that all mean for us in school?

1) It means that we will be emotionally available for the children in our care.

2) It means we will give the children space and support to feel and experience all their emotions.

3) It means we will validate them and see them as individuals.

4) It means we will nurture positive relationships with them.

5) It means we have been learning about brain development and how stress and trauma can impact a child’s developing mind.

6) It means that we will be curious as to why a child might be behaving in a certain way and ensuring that we meet their emotional needs.

7) It means that we know the power of our words and interactions as educators and how this may impact our practice.
