Message from the Head

A school of which we can all be proud

St Bartholomew's is a school that has a proven record of success and is committed to being even better in the future. Whatever the criteria - academic, social and personal, sporting, musical or dramatic - this is an outstanding school. Two factors play a critical part in our success:

• The consistently high expectations of all staff and governors
• The wholehearted support received from parents and the wider community

As part of the governors' commitment to quality, their policy is to seek to maintain class sizes that average 25 or fewer in Years 7-11 and to offer a wide range of appropriate courses in the Sixth Form.

As a discerning parent, you will want to consider all of the options for your child. I hope that this web site will help you in your decision-making.

If you have any further queries or you wish to visit the school, then please contact us.
