Mission Statement

Jesus Christ is very important in our school.

He is at the heart of everything we do

The 5 W’s

At St. Bernadette’s, we WELCOME new children, families and all visitors them that they are entering a friendly happy place where children follow the ways of Jesus by loving, valuing and respecting each other.

At St. Bernadette’s, the WORD of God is placed at the centre of all that we do, following Diocesan guidelines and an enhanced curriculum that allows pupils to celebrate the word of God in an interesting and fun way.

At St. Bernadette’s, we WITNESS a loving, caring God in the way we live, the way we treat each other and in the way we care about other people who do not have as much as we have.

At St. Bernadette’s, we WORSHIP God through our class prayers,  school Masses, music, assemblies, class prayer and worship services, through our actions and through the way we live and treat each other.

At St. Bernadette’s, the WELFARE of pupils and adults is paramount. We show this in the way we treat one another fairly and equally and the way we respect each other. In our school we want everyone to  feel safe and know they are valued as unique and made in the image and likeness of God.

Our Trust Values

Our Trust Mission is simple, it is to make Christ known, making lives better for our communities, our children and young people.

Our Trust Mission and Values

Hope

One of Hope

Inspired by St Teresa of Calcutta, we are people of hope. We have a complete belief in the future we will build together. By offering our children, staff and schools’ opportunities to grow and flourish, we make aspiration and ambition a reality. Our people, just like St Teresa are relentless and fiercely ambitious. We will always reach for that which seems to be just out of our grasp. 

Courage

One of Courage

As modelled for us by St Teresa of Calcutta, we will have the courage to do what is right. As a community, we will not shy away from making decisions that ensure our communities thrive. We will be brave in our actions. As a truly Catholic organisation this courage will be most apparent in how we collectively support the most vulnerable. 

Innovation

One of Innovation

St Teresa of Calcutta changed the world. Together, we will always be pursuing new ideas and best practice in all areas of our work. We will prepare our children and young people for the world that awaits them. A world which they will shape and change.
