From the St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School
Welcoming you to St. Bernadette's Catholic Primary School makes me very happy. Inspecting teams from the Catholic Diocese of Northampton and Ofsted both rated our school as outstanding in every category in June 2014 and October 2015, respectively. We celebrated our 10th year in September 2015 with a wonderful Mass celebrated by Bishop Peter, with concelebrants from our local clergy. Everyone is respected, cared for, and inspired to use their God-given abilities at St. Bernadette's. We are fortunate to live in a thriving, diverse community and value the chance to constantly grow and learn from one another. We offer our pupils a broad and balanced curriculum with rich and varied opportunities to put into practice our strong Christian values, through active involvement in charity work, prayer, and plentiful access to spiritual and social activities. We sincerely hope that the parents and guardians of the students entrusted to our care would participate in school life. Accordingly, we look forward to working with you, the parishes we serve and the wider community, as we seek to foster and develop the intellectual, spiritual and social growth of our young people by, Loving, Serving and Growing Together with Jesus.
