One family, following Christ, learning together, making a difference St. Bernard's Primary School is a popular two form entry Catholic school in the Moseley area of Birmingham. The school is located in the parish of English Martyrs. We have strong links with our parish church and community.
We are blessed to be situated in a beautiful location with Moseley Bog next door and Sarehole Mill just down the road. The children who attend our school come from the immediate community and beyond. Gospel values are at the heart of our school but we celebrate diversity with many of our children coming from many different backgrounds and faiths.
Our Early Years provision offers a wide variety of experiences and opportunities for our pupils to express themselves and learn. Our pupils personal, social and emotional development is key and our dedicated team of EYFS staff ensure pupils needs are met every day.
Child initiated learning is a fundamental part of our practice in EYFS enabling our pupils to develop quickly into independent learners.
