TRANSCRIPT
Act Justly, love tenderly,
walk humbly with your God
A Prayer and Welcome for New Student Members of St. Anne’s
Dear Lord, please welcome and bless these new students,
parents and carers to our school community. They have chosen
to be a part of the family of Saint Anne’s for many reasons:
to express their creativity, to be part of a strong community,
to learn and make progress in a safe environment.
Dear Lord, bless them with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of
wisdom, understanding, friendship and knowledge.
Dear Lord, bless these new students to Saint Anne’s so that over
their
time with us their words may, in the words of St. Francis,
sow love where there is hatred, pardon where there is injury,
faith where there is doubt, hope where there is despair,
light where there is darkness and joy where there is sadness.
We ask this through Christ our Lord,
Amen
Saint Anne,
Pray for us.

Most expected flightpaths are determined
using KS2 performance in Reading and Maths
together with national data and our past
outcomes
A student’s flightpath may vary in different
subjects.
Expected flightpaths are subject to review due
to changes in the national database
A student's knowledge, skills and
understanding are assessed over time and not
just the most recent assessment.
