Welcome to our school.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and find out more about our very special school.
I am delighted to share with you the wonderful opportunities we offer here at St Bartholomew’s. Thank you for taking the time to explore the fantastic learning that takes place and the wide variety of experiences available to our children.
St Bartholomew’s is a warm and welcoming school where every child is valued as a unique individual and encouraged to achieve their very best. As a Church of England school, our Christian values are at the heart of everything we do. We strive to create an environment where children learn to live out these values—showing respect, kindness, and compassion—while developing a strong sense of community and responsibility.
Our aim is to nurture the whole child—academically, socially, and spiritually—so that they grow in confidence and character, ready to embrace life’s opportunities. Guided by our Christian vision, we seek to ensure that every child flourishes and shines as they grow in wisdom and grace.
I am immensely proud to lead a dedicated team, committed to children’s well-being, high standards, and providing the very best opportunities for all. Our staff work hard to deliver a rich and challenging curriculum that prepares children for future education and equips them with the skills, confidence and enthusiasm to embrace life’s opportunities and responsibilities. We aim to create a happy, supportive and purposeful environment where learning is exciting and inspires creativity and curiosity.
Our curriculum is delivered through a cross-curricular approach and enriched by themed days, visits, visitors, and special events. We believe children should be curious and passionate about their learning, and we strive to nurture individual talents so that every child experiences success and reaches their full potential. At St Bartholomew’s, we support children to become confident, independent learners who thrive on challenge and are motivated to achieve.
We are proud of our strong sense of community and our ‘family feel’. Working in partnership with parents, carers, governors, The Church and the wider community is central to our ethos because together we can achieve the very best for our children.
Please take time to browse our website and discover more about our wonderful school. You can also follow us on Facebook or Instagram for regular updates and a glimpse of school life in action. If you would like to see St Bartholomew’s for yourself, please contact us to arrange a visit—we would love to welcome you and show you what makes our school so special.
We hope that St Bartholomew’s CE VA Primary School becomes a cherished part of your child’s educational journey, filled with rich experiences and lasting memories.
