WELCOME TO ST. ANTHONY'S SCHOOL FOR BOYS

Headmaster’s Welcome

Welcome to St Anthony’s School for Boys. We are an ISI Excellent, unique school where academic excellence is achieved in a safe, familiar community.

I am delighted to welcome you to St Anthony’s School for Boys’ website which gives a sense of all the many wonderful things that the boys achieve here. All colleagues here, be they teachers or support staff, want to ensure the boys have the best start in life. The Catholic ethos of the school values every individual child for who they are above what they do.

Promoting a greenhouse as opposed to a hothouse environment means St Anthony’s boys are happy, hard-working and highly successful.
