Welcome to our school. St Bernadettes Primary School is part of Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust. All members of our school community ensure that the children who come to us will have a happy and productive time during their stay and that their parents will feel valued partners in their children's education.
This website gives you an overview of the education and wider development of the child that we provide. St. Bernadette's Primary School, a Catholic Voluntary Academy is for children between the ages of 2 to 11 years. It was built in 1973 and consists of a bright, engaging and welcoming environment.
This year we are delighted to be introducing our 2 year old provision and new build. A school is very much a living and growing body. St Bernadettes is a place where children feel safe and secure to use their talents, develop their skills and be aware of the needs of each other, in a caring Catholic atmosphere as part of our Parish community.
Our school vision and values are evident in every interaction seen in school. I hope this website shows you a little of our special charism.
