Our Vision Statement

St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School is a welcoming school with a caring, friendly and supportive staff.  Our primary aim is to foster an environment in which each child can reach his/her full potential, spiritually, socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically so that each child may lead a healthy, productive and meaningful life.

The Governing Board, in conjunction with school leaders and stakeholders have set the vision for our school:

1) A school that  puts Pupil Safeguarding at the centre of all that we do

2) A school that remains an Outstanding Catholic School (Section 48 inspection Nov 2021) under the new CSI inspection framework

3) A school that aspires to excellence in teaching and is judged at the highest standard across all areas by OFSTED

4) A school that Values its staff – their Mental Health and Wellbeing and seeking to alleviate unnecessary workload 

5) A school that recruits develops and retains the best teachers to provide the best education for our pupils.

6) A school that inspires children and young people to achieve and grow through the delivery of outstanding teaching and learning

7) A school that benchmarks itself against the best.

8) A school that builds resilient young people, ready and able to engage with the next steps on their educational and faith journey through life.

9) A school that is actively involved in teacher training programmes and initiatives such as our own “grow your own” pilot scheme to address the potential shortfall in Catholic Teachers
