School Aims

St. Bernadette’s is a Catholic School for children aged 4-11 years with a nursery class for 3 - 4 years old.

 

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.
