Welcome
I warmly welcome you to St Bernadette’s Catholic Primary School.
Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. At St Bernadette’s, we provide a safe, secure and happy environment where every child is supported and challenged to achieve their full potential.
Our school motto, ‘Learn to Love, Love to Learn’, is at the heart of all we do. Our curriculum places Jesus at its centre and reflects Gospel values, nurturing a sense of purpose and faith in our children.
We are delighted to share that our recent Catholic Schools Inspection report praised the exemplary behaviour of our children, recognising their deep understanding of Christian values. The report also highlighted that our staff are outstanding role models, creating a loving and nurturing environment where children are happy, confident and proud to be part of the St Bernadette’s family.
We celebrate the uniqueness of each child, recognising every individual as created in the image and likeness of God. Alongside academic achievement, we offer a wealth of enrichment opportunities, encourage pupil leadership, and support the spiritual and social development of our children.
Our talented and dedicated staff work closely with families, our parish and the local community. We believe that education is a true partnership and greatly value your involvement and support in your child's educational journey.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child to St Bernadette’s.
Miss E. Finnegan

Our Mission Statement
At St. Bernadette's Catholic School you will find us caring, hardworking and co-operative. We follow the ways of Jesus using our talents and gifts to make our school special. We show respect to all and welcome you.
Aims of Our School
As a Catholic school, our aim is to create a religious and moral climate, which will enable the child’s love of the Catholic faith to develop and mature and thus, enhance the development of the whole child. Qualities such as responsibility, sincerity, honesty, tolerance and those that reflect the Christian values, in general, will enable the child to take a full part in their secondary education and in society as a whole. In order to develop the whole child spiritually, morally, academically, culturally and socially our aims are to give each child: An understanding of how they grow in body and faith and how this is a fundamental part of God’s plan for us and our future.
A sense of self-discipline, personal well-being, acceptable behaviour and an awareness of the needs of others to prepare for a life in a multi-cultural society. The ability to become independent learners able to solve a range of problems. Access to a good quality education in all subjects that will equip them with the skills necessary to become citizens of the future. The school promotes breadth and depth, relevance and differentiation and recognises that these should be the keystone of the curriculum provided within school.
