I have worked at St Bart's a very long time (over three decades) and am very proud to be the headteacher. I do my best to ensure that the children enjoy coming to our school and their education and wellbeing are central to everything we do. If our children do not enjoy school and attend every day they cannot flourish.
We are a large, Church of England, inner city, multi-cultural church school, which bases its ethos and vision on Christian values. We value the contribution that everyone makes to school life, placing great importance on creating fulfilled and happy people.
Our school's Christian vision represents all that we strive for: using the story of The Lost Sheep to underpin our belief that no child or adult be left behind and we will support all our school family to achieve their best. We have high expectations of all children both personally and academically.
We aim to provide young people with the experiences they need to develop into successful learners; confident individuals and compassionate citizens in society with successful futures ahead of them.
