VISION

At St Bartholomew’s we are a Church of England Primary School and we believe that, with our established and promotion of leadership at all levels, all adults and children will flourish. All leaders ensure that the impact of the vision across the curriculum can be seen and lived out. We use the term ‘The St Bart’s’ way’…where only the best will do’ we ensure that the vision is the cornerstone and the vision of the school drives everything forward. The vision enables us to make decisions for the children at our school. We ensure that we are passionate about the children, families and staff of St Bartholomew’s. We also believe that we are called to serve the community in which we teach.

AIMS

At St Bartholomew’s we aim to develop and support the all-round growth of the individual child in a calm and caring atmosphere.

Children are expected to reach their full potential in the basic skills in order to enjoy the opportunities and challenges presented to them.

Through hard work and encouragement, our children will achieve and grow confidently as social individuals.

We expect children to demonstrate a caring attitude to each other and their environment, and we value the special contribution of each child so that children will learn to accept and value the views of others.

We intend our phase of education to play its part in preparing children for their adult life as fully participating members of society who can think rationally and plan for themselves a quality future.
