WELCOME TO OUR SCHOOL
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you and your child to Belgrave St. Bartholomew’s Academy, which is part of the St. Bart’s Multi-Academy Trust.
I am extremely proud to hold the position of Principal and I’m passionate about providing the best learning experiences for all our children. At Belgrave, we pride ourselves on being friendly and welcoming and one of our many strengths is our caring and inclusive ethos. As a Church of England school, our fundamental aim is to promote the teachings of Jesus through our respect of one another whilst teaching pupils about other faiths, traditions and cultures so that they learn to understand and appreciate the richness and diversity of our school and the global community.
We look forward to meeting you and your child very soon.
Kindest regards,
Mr G. Barlow
Principal

From the minute you step inside our academy, you will see that we all work towards one main aim; ‘Loving each other as we love ourselves.’ (Matthew 22:39). Every child and adult is encouraged to flourish and reach their full potential regardless of age, gender, ability or faith and we do this together, as a family.
High expectations for good behaviour are fundamental if our children are to develop positive long-term relationships and remain happy and safe. This is one of the many outstanding areas highlighted in the academy’s most recent Ofsted inspection. Pupils constantly demonstrate the school’s values and high expectations through exemplary behaviour. They respect adults and each other. They work collaboratively, showing tolerance and sensitivity to the needs of others. (Ofsted, March 2017)
At Belgrave St. Bartholomew’s Academy, we recognise the important of strong relationships with families and the community in order to support children’s learning and celebrate their success. We do this by opening our doors and inviting family, friends and members of the community to share in our worship, achievement celebrations and curriculum outcome days. We have a vibrant and creative curriculum where children’s learning is enhanced by specialist teaching and a wide variety of extra-curricular sporting activities and after-school clubs, for pupils in all key stages.
