“Serve the Lord with Joy as One School, One Family” is our school motto. St. Bartholomew’s exists to:

• Encourage the spiritual and moral development of all pupils by helping each child to develop their relationship with God through prayer and worship

• Recognise the importance of forging links with the parish, home and community

• Encourage children to be independent and aspirational

• Expose the children to a wide variety of experiences

• Ensure that National Curriculum educational standards are achieved

• Foster the intellectual, creative and physical capacity of each child

• Work in an positive atmosphere of praise and encouragement

• Prepare children to adapt to demands of a changing world, show respect for others and equip them for their future life

• Work closely with parents and carers for the benefit of the children
