Vision Statement

Throughout the St Bartholomew’s community, we provide a caring and inclusive learning environment where all children and adults are happy, feel safe and know that they are valued; nurturing hope and aspirations to flourish and develop God-given potential.

Whilst maintaining the highest expectations of our pupils, we work together to ensure all children are safe, happy and flourishing in their learning. As a Church school we have a distinctive character where Christian values are promoted in all aspects of school life, underpinned by our key values, chosen to help us to achieve our vision: Friendship, Respect, Compassion, Perseverance, Courage and Pride. Our exciting, innovative Harmony curriculum embodies and nurtures inquisitive, curious learners encapsulating all core and foundation subjects through a carefully planned enquiry-based, multi-disciplined curriculum which promotes and develops a love of learning and a connection to the world around us. This approach to learning is deliberately focused on helping all pupils to live out our vision – nurturing hope and aspiration and an appreciation and respect of each other and the world around us, in the knowledge that everyone is valued equally and can achieve their God-given potential.

Severn Academies Educational Trust formed in 2016 by a group of like-minded Governors and Headteachers, our Trust is one of the first and longest established Multi Academy Trusts in Worcestershire. We are a growing, forward-thinking and outward-facing Trust that sets out to show what strong collaboration and shared practice can achieve for children and their families.

From the very first day of our Trust, our Mission has been to provide the nurturing conditions for children to grow into outstanding young people who are capable of leading brilliant lives. Our Vision places personal growth, community and excellence at the heart of everything we aspire towards and do. Our Mission and Vision permeate all aspects of our work and allow our self-determined schools to ensure a broad and enriching experience where students are proud of their achievements, are empowered and aspirational.

As a Trust we recognise the uniqueness of all our schools and the communities they serve. In collaborating, we also appreciate the importance of our collective desire to uphold and promote our Values. This is demonstrated in our shared ambition to deliver our Trust 'Pledge' for our children and their families. The Pledge outlines our commitment to the very best personal development opportunities, helping our students to become well-rounded individuals enjoying their learning whilst developing the skills, values and qualities needed to live happy and fulfilling lives.
