St Bartholomew s, known affectionately by many as St. Bart s, is a thriving, inclusive Church of England primary school and nursery delivering high quality education and opportunities to the pupils in and around the semi-rural village of Areley Kings on the south bank of the River Severn, Stourport-on-Severn.
Whilst maintaining the highest expectations of our pupils, we work together to ensure all children are safe, happy and flourishing in their learning. As a Church school we have a distinctive character where Christian values are promoted in all aspects of school life, underpinned by our chosen key values: Pride, Courage, Resilience, Love, Empathy and Respect.
Our school's distinctively Christian vision is theologically-rooted in the Parable of the Lost Sheep (Matthew 18:10-14 and Luke 15:1-7), where everyone is precious and every member of our school community will go to great lengths to ensure every child is loved and cared for as part of our school family; never giving up on individuals regardless of how they look or act, just as God has compassion for every person.
Our vision is at the forefront of all decision-making for every strategy, policy and rationale.
