Headteacher's Welcome
Thank you for visiting our website, we hope that you have found what you were looking for, however; you would be more than welcome to come and visit or ring us to find out more information.
St Anthony’s is a thriving, busy Catholic primary school at the heart of a well-established Parish community in Fulwood, Preston.
We believe in a curriculum that meets the needs of individuals that enjoy a range of activities, therefore we ensure, through valuing every subject taught, that we find lots of gifts and talents that the children have and then celebrate them.
Our ethos is based on the teachings of Christ through the Gospel values. Your children will feel valued for their unique talents and leave the school well prepared for later life and ready to take on new challenges.
I look forward to meeting you and to working with you to ensure that your children are given the very best foundations for learning and for life.

Mater Ecclesiae Catholic Trust
Mater Ecclesiae is one of three Catholic Multi Academy Trusts (CMATs) formed by the Diocese of Lancaster to protect, preserve, nourish and enhance the Catholic religion through the establishment, maintenance and development of Catholic schools.
Mater Ecclesiae was formed in 2022 and currently consists of seven Catholic primary schools and one Catholic secondary school. In geographical terms, the Trust extends across Preston and rural Preston and all are within the local authority area of Lancashire. We currently have 287 staff and educate over 2,200 children and young people in our care. Our head office is located in Fulwood, Preston.
Religious Education
At St. Anthony’s, our intent for Religious Education is to ensure each child develops a comprehensive understanding of the Catholic Religion, the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church, are at the core of our whole curriculum. We strive to create an ethos whereby the spiritual, moral, social and cultural needs of all within the entire school community are supported.
Through exploration, questioning and discussion, we will ensure each child has an understanding of the life of Jesus and the People of God from the Bible. We see Religious Education as a subject that is not only taught in timetabled lessons, but is a way of life which is promoted by all members of our school community. We guide the children to strive towards living their lives following the Gospel Values, the teachings of Jesus Christ, using His life as an example, and the Catholic Church.
