Introduction

We warmly invite you to use our website as a window through which to view our wonderful, distinctive primary school of Saint Bernadette, where the Catholic ethos is evident and open to be experienced by all who enter.

Governors, staff, parents and children work together in partnership to meet the challenges and opportunities of our mission to:
‘Learn to grow in knowledge, faith and love through friendship with Jesus and Mary'.

We hope that you will see in our school a place where every child matters and a community that celebrates each individual’s contribution. You are invited to visit our school and see how our mission is manifested by our community.
