Stamford Park Trust

What Stamford Park Trust does

Stamford Park Trust operates St Antony's Catholic Primary School, a state-funded faith school located on Upton Avenue in Forest Gate, Newham, East London. Founded in 1862 by Ursuline Nuns from Belgium in collaboration with the Franciscan Order, the school serves pupils from nursery through Year 6, including a 2-year-old provision branded 'Viridis @ St Antony's'. Since September 2020 it has operated as a Catholic Academy within the Our Lady of Grace Catholic Academy Trust, a multi-academy trust comprising seven Catholic primary schools in the borough, and is governed in conjunction with the Diocese of Brentwood and the St Antony of Padua Parish.

The school's educational offering centres on the National Curriculum delivered through a Catholic lens, anchored by the Ruth Miskin Read Write Inc. phonics scheme for EYFS literacy, the Come and See religious education programme for EYFS–Year 6, and the SMART Online Safety Curriculum. Bespoke SEND provision includes life-skills training (cycling, cooking, swimming), and the school differentiates itself through a strong performing-arts programme — its original school song 'The United Colours of St Antony's' won the National School Song Competition 2024, and the music ensemble performed at Windsor Castle for the 75th Anniversary of the Windrush Generation. Approximately 31 staff support the school's operations, led by Head Teacher Mrs Angela Moore and Deputy Head Miss Yvonne Wade.

The revenue model is that of a UK state-funded academy: the majority of funding flows from per-pupil allocations administered via the London Borough of Newham and the Department for Education, with marginal ancillary income from optional paid services such as breakfast club, after-school clubs, and school meals. The school does not publicly disclose financial figures. Distribution relies on the Pan London eAdmissions portal, the Diocese of Brentwood's faith-based admission criteria (Certificate of Catholic Practice), and direct parish communications; marketing is conducted primarily through community and faith networks rather than commercial channels.
