Imagine a school nestled amongst friendly houses, with a welcoming atmosphere as bright as a button. That's St Bartholomew's! It's where children from 3 to 11 years old get to learn and grow like seeds in sunshine.

The classrooms buzz with curiosity and laughter. Teachers here are like friendly gardeners, helping each child blossom at their own pace. They believe in kindness, just like the school values of courage, friendship, and forgiveness. So, every day is filled with respect and a sense of belonging.

Playtime is a wonderland of its own. Maybe you'll see EYFS children building sandcastle kingdoms and other children engaged in a range of activities supported by our proficient staff, having races on the playground, or huddled together reading a story under our big, shady tree. It's a place where imaginations soar and friendships take root.

St Bartholomew's has a special touch too, with its Church of England roots. It weaves stories of hope and love into the school day, making it a truly warm and welcoming place for every child.
