iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to St Bartholomew's Catholic Primary School. My name is Mrs Lockley and I am very proud to introduce myself as the Headteacher of this kind, caring, school family. In our daily life, we live out our mission as 'A loving family growing and learning together with Jesus.' This is supported by our strong parish/school links.
Each month, our pupils lead a parish/school mass with the support of Fr Phil, our parish priest and during this, we come together within our parish community to celebrate our own unique gifts and talents. Our core values are embedded into all aspects of school life and they underpin the relationships we have with each other and the families who are part of our school community.
They are: We are a happy and friendly school and this ethos is commented on by all who visit us. Pupils in St Barts are proud to be part of our community and we are proud of the role we play in enabling them to grow (in all senses) into the person they are called to be. I hope you find the pages of this website useful.
