St Bernard’s is a Roman Catholic Primary School.
It promotes and practices quality education from a viewpoint based on the teaching of Jesus Christ through the Gospels and through the doctrine of the Catholic Church.
Parents are the first educators and St Bernard’s believes that the school exists in order to help parents bring up their children and will work in partnership with them and the Parish so that they may experience an enjoyable and fruitful school experience.
The school believes that Jesus is present in the lives of every person. We wish our school to be a place where Catholic attitudes to life are both taught and lived in a way that encourages our children to develop a strong Christian family and community spirit. To help achieve these aims our school offers a happy, safe and welcoming atmosphere, where every child is loved and valued.
The school believes that children should learn to respect others, for they too are made in God’s image. In school, the child should be able to experience a sense of belonging and enjoy a spirit of co-operation within an optimistic environment that is conducive to learning.
