St Bart's is a very special Place. There is a family feel about the school and a sense of real belonging for everyone who joins our school community. We share and subscribe to five Christian core values which are at the heart of everything we do at St Bart s. These are expressed by a memorable acronym BARTS which stands for B elieve, A chieve, R espect, T rust and S ucceed.
Our values ensure that everyone, from children to teachers, governors to parents and visitors from the local and wider community, feel safe and happy to take responsibility for their own lives, achieving their very best in a positive and nurturing environment.
We are immensely proud of our rich and dynamic curriculum which we believe is engaging, challenging, motivational and always relevant to our children's lives as they learn and grow in the 21 st century. We have strong links with St Bartholomew's Church.
The whole school community participates in weekly collective worship sessions which are often held at the church and enthusiastically led by our rector, Chris Bessant.
