Head Teacher's Welcome

Thank you for visiting St Bernadette’s School website

Here at St Bernadette’s, we strive together to ensure that children are at the heart of our school, celebrating the fact that we aim to create a happy, purposeful and stimulating environment within which each individual will be able to achieve the highest possible standards of educational, personal and spiritual development.

We believe that the Gospel Values permeate our whole school curriculum. Our children learn about the teachings of Jesus and how our faith is built upon the gospel values. We teach our children about God, life, friendships, how to treat others with respect, other faiths and how to carry themselves through life as kind and thoughtful people. In school we use the language of choice, encouraging the children to make the right choice but also how to try to put right our wrong choices through tolerance and forgiveness.

Our curriculum is broad, relevant, creative and progressive which engages children in an exciting and stimulating way. Our staff are very dedicated and have excellent relationships with pupils and parents built on trust and mutual respect. We work very hard to establish and maintain an effective partnership with parents throughout the school.  Our school has very strong links with St Bernadette's Church and is at the heart of our very close-knit community - always striving to fulfil our motto – ‘Doing our Best for God.’

We appreciate that choosing the right school for your child is one of the most difficult decisions you will make.  We would be proud and delighted to assist you with this decision and encourage you to visit our school.  Please arrange a visit to see what we have to offer by ringing the school office.
