Welcome to Annan School

Debby Hunter – Principal

Annan School offers a unique, inspiring education in a beautiful woodland setting. As a Froebelian primary school for children aged 2-11 we prioritise child-centred learning, fostering confident, thoughtful, learners who are happy, curious and develop empathy and responsibility towards each other and the world around them.

In Annan’s calm and beautiful surroundings children are given the time and space to enjoy learning and become fully themselves as well as making outstanding progress.

The journey

Learning is for life and we want children to enjoy their Annan experience to the full, from the early first steps in kindergarten, right up to emerging at the end of juniors ready to take on new challenges with enthusiasm and determination.

Kindergarten

2-4 YEARS

Kindergarten is a fun and lively place, where our experienced and caring staff encourage children to develop their natural curiosity, follow their interests and develop a love of learning in a homely environment.

Infants

4-7 YEARS

Children enjoy a rich learning experience which is full of exciting activities, gardening, cooking and using their own dedicated infant garden. They learn to take risks, and challenge their thinking.

Juniors

7- 11 YEARS

Our junior children’s desire to find out more is inspired by trips out, and children are encouraged to fully develop their skills and interests to grow into independent learners and thinkers.

“There is a real sense of respect and care for each other because of the ethos of the school. Pupils develop strong social awareness, a sense of belonging, a positive self-image and mutual respect, in an environment where they feel confident, cared for and have the freedom to enjoy learning.”
