About St Anselm's College
St. Anselm’s College is a truly unique Catholic Grammar School for boys, steeped in history and tradition, underpinned by our distinct Catholic nature and Edmund Rice ethos.
Our mission is to ensure that every student is given the opportunity to reach their full potential through the use of their God given talents. Where inclusivity, wellbeing and a sense of belonging is extended to every member of the community, encompassing past, present and future Anselmians.
At our College we take immense pride in our reputation for high academic performance and in setting high standards for every student. Learning centred on both challenge and support are fundamental elements of our ambitious curriculum. We are extremely proud of the academic excellence that our students achieve, and of the genuine drive our staff have to transform future aspirations into reality for all of our students.
Our commitment is to nurture not only brilliant minds, but also compassionate hearts, fostering an environment where each student is invited to live out the values of Catholic social teaching and have a direct impact on the lives of others through charitable works, such as with SVP and the Martin Gallier Suicide Safe Community. Our motto ‘Fides Quaerens Intellectum’ which translates to ‘Faith seeking understanding’, is a reminder to us all to seek God; not only with our hearts, but with our minds, and in all that we do. It ultimately underpins our daily interactions with one another. We are champions of respect, tolerance and diversity as recognised by our Mental Health Award and Anti-Bullying Alliance Schools Award.
Our wide range of enrichment activities, from sports and music, to drama, debate, and community service—ensures that our students are challenged, engaged, and encouraged to explore their interests and develop new skills. Students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in annual trips to Canada, South Africa, Japan, Sierra Leone and many more destinations across Europe. We are renowned for our excellence in sport, especially rugby and athletics, as well as our rich music and art provisions.
St. Anselm’s College is simply a wonderful place to be, with an ethos and culture that is like no other. I hope that you enjoy looking around our website and exploring the wonderful opportunities that are available to all of our students.
