School Values
"Your faith can move mountains" (Matthew 17:20)
As a Church of England Academy, Christian teaching and values lie at the heart of all we do at St Bartholomew's. We encourage independence, personal responsibility and good citizenship within a Christian framework, whilst embracing those of all faiths, and of none.
As a Christian learning community, our core values are:
- Respect
- Peace
- Hope & Aspiration
- Perseverance
- Wisdom
- Stewardship
These core values are supported by other Christian values such as love, forgiveness, truth, friendship, thankfulness and courage.
Through all aspects of their experience, the children have opportunities to reflect on these values in turn, exploring what each one means and then learn how to recognise and demonstrate these positive Christian values in everyday life.
Our partnership with the Church is very important to us and we are blessed to have our Vicar, Reverend Jon Taylor and also Reverend Canon Kathryn Fleming from Coventry Cathedral on our Governing Body to support our vision, along with other members of the Local Governing Body, ensuring that Christian beliefs are at the heart of the Academy's work.
