In our St. Bartholomew's family, we want everyone in our school to flourish and succeed. We believe that everyone is unique and created in God's own image, each with their own special gifts, skills, talents and abilities.
Our vision is one where we will create a warm and caring environment: where children aspire to be the best that they can be; where they are encouraged to believe in themselves; where they are challenged to develop in to wonderful human beings who help to create a better world for the children of the future; where Jesus and His teachings are central.
This vision is rooted in the Bible: Psalm 1 v1-3 (Jeremiah 17) " Happy is the person who doesn't listen to bad things and doesn't do what bad people do. 2 They love God's teachings. They think about those teachings everyday. 3 They are strong, like a tree planted by a river. It will flourish and produce fruit. Its leaves don't die. Everything they do will succeed."
