At St Bartholomew’s, Catholic values are paramount, and children and staff are encouraged to ‘serve the Lord with joy as one school and one family’ in everything they do.

Each child at St Bartholomew’s is taught that they hold individual dignity, and their distinct characters, gifts, and talents are cherished and nurtured by the school. The diversity in the school’s community is valued and celebrated. At St Bartholomew’s, children are taught to be respectful, responsible members of their local community and of the wider society, and to develop positive, cooperative relationships with each other.

St Bartholomew’s prides itself in the broad, aspirational curriculum it offers all children, in which the school focuses on exceptional creative learning and challenge within a positive, industrious atmosphere. St Bartholomew’s also value the development of all children’s musical, linguistic, sporting and artistic abilities. Children are encouraged to be proactive and enthusiastic learners and to always strive to do the best they possibly can.

The school believes that parents and carers are the children’s first educators and that the strong partnership between home and school is vital to their success and happiness.
