St. Anthony\u2019s is an outstanding day Special School, maintained by West Sussex County Council. The school caters for boys and girls aged 5-16. Currently we have 225 pupils on roll. All pupils admitted to St. Anthony\u2019s School must have an Education, Health and Care Plan Statement.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have pupils with a range of learning, medical or language difficulties. A high percentage of our pupils have speech and language difficulties. A significant number have autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia or other specific learning needs.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We provide a happy and supportive learning environment, in which your child will receive a balanced curriculum, with a wide range of opportunities that will help them to grow into independent responsible people. Pupils work towards national accreditation up to, and including where appropriate, GCSE. With a favourable adult to pupil ratio we aim to help your child learn and develop.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our curriculum is designed to meet a wide variety of needs and incorporates the full range of National Curriculum subjects at appropriate stages.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe that our aims can only be achieved by working together with parents and carers, therefore close co-operation between home and school is vital. There are a number of ways in which we can work together to help your child and we are always available at the end of a phone should you have any queries.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have regular parents\u2019 evenings and support Parents and Friends Association. Everyone at St. Anthony\u2019s is working towards making children\u2019s development and time at school successful.<\/strong>

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Anthony\u2019s School motto is \u2018Learning Together\u2019. We have five aims for our children and they are:-<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*A school where every member\u2019s unique contribution to the school community is valued and given the support and encouragement necessary to meet the demands of education and personal change.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*A school where each child receives a broad and balanced curriculum that is personalised to enable each child to fulfil their full potential.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*A school <\/strong>to allow all pupils to develop positive relationships, build skills in tolerance, patience, trust and compassion and to value themselves, others and the world around them. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*A school <\/strong>to foster in our pupils a \u2018can do\u2019 attitude and positive approach to learning. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*A school that recognises the value of education as a life-long process to assist them in acquiring the necessary skills and confidence to develop and adapt as individuals.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
