From the St Bartholomew's Primary Academy
It is a pleasure for me to welcome you to the website for St. Bartholomew's Primary Academy. We hope it provides you a taste of the many excellent possibilities and experiences that our team works hard to provide for our kids. Every child should be encouraged, stretched, and given the tools to "soar" in order to reach their full potential and develop into confident adults who have the necessary knowledge and abilities to achieve both now and in the future. Our school is founded on a solid foundation of Christian values that guarantees students graduate from primary school with a loving and respectful attitude toward others and an understanding of the value of establishing and keeping meaningful connections with those in their immediate surroundings. We take pleasure in having open lines of communication, so if you have any inquiries or suggestions about the website or anything else, don't hesitate to get in touch with either your child's classroom teacher or even myself.
