At Bartley Junior School, we aim to create a happy, caring community where high standards of teaching and memorable learning experiences enable all our children to develop the skills and knowledge they will need for life-long learning.

Through our Christian ethos and in active partnership with parents and the wider community, we:

• celebrate the uniqueness of each individual and provide equal opportunities for all;

• nurture and embrace talent, celebrating achievement within and beyond the curriculum;

• build on past experiences to prepare for our future;

• challenge and motivate through a high quality, safe environment and stimulating resources;

• encourage pride in self and others within the school family;

• encourage the ability to learn independently and co-operatively;

• develop the spirit of enquiry within our children coupled with a sense of self worth;

• encourage, enthuse and support individuals’ needs;

• have high expectations.

We value:

• kindness, friendliness, consideration and respect for others;

• honesty;

• individuality;

• teamwork;

• effort and enthusiasm;

• risk taking;

• self discipline;

• taking responsibility for actions and behaviour;

• creativity;

• a healthy lifestyle;

• politeness.

There is, of course, no substitute for a personal visit and you are warmly invited to contact the school to arrange a visit during which time you will be able to meet the children, staff and myself.

Yours sincerely,
Karen Stonehouse, Headteacher
