Welcome to Our School  

Welcome to St Bartholomew’s Church of England Primary School – we are delighted that you are taking the time to learn more about our wonderful school.

I am incredibly proud to share our school community with you and to offer a glimpse into the rich opportunities and experiences we provide for our children. Thank you for exploring our website and for taking an interest in the fantastic learning and wider experiences that take place here every day.

At St Bartholomew’s, our daily life is shaped by a vision that is both deeply Christian and fully inclusive. We are a warm, nurturing school where every child is valued as an individual and encouraged to flourish. We are committed to providing all children with access to a rich and inspiring education within a supportive Christian environment, where they are motivated to achieve their personal best.

Our mission,


“Our Church school seeks to ensure that by following Jesus each individual is inspired to shine in all areas of their educational and spiritual development”
(John 8:12 | Jeremiah 29:11),


guides everything we do. It shapes our relationships, informs our decisions and underpins the opportunities we create for our children—whether in the classroom, on the playground, in worship or within the wider community.

This vision has a profound impact across our school. Children learn in an environment where kindness is modelled, courage is encouraged and respect is embedded in daily life. They develop the confidence to question, the resilience to persevere and the compassion to serve others. Our families feel welcomed, supported and valued, and our staff work collaboratively with dedication and purpose to ensure every child flourishes academically, socially, spiritually and emotionally.

We firmly believe that every child is capable of great success. Through high expectations, encouragement and strong support, we help our pupils to grow in confidence and achievement. While academic success is important, we recognise that education is about much more than this. Our aim is to ensure that every child leaves us equipped with the knowledge, skills, confidence and character needed to thrive in the next stage of their education and beyond.

I feel privileged to lead such a committed and caring team, who work tirelessly to provide a broad, engaging and inspiring curriculum. Through a carefully planned range of experiences—including themed learning, visits, visitors and enrichment opportunities—we ensure that learning is meaningful, memorable and exciting, fostering a lifelong love of learning.

Guided by our Christian values, we nurture the whole child and empower our pupils to believe in themselves, develop resilience and grow into confident, independent young people. Together, we live out our shared vision:

“Follow Jesus in all we do.”

We are proud to be a welcoming school with a strong sense of community and a genuine ‘family feel’. We value our partnership with parents, carers, governors and the wider community, knowing that by working together, we can provide the very best for every child.
