“St Bartholomew’s, known affectionately by many as St. Bart’s, is a thriving, inclusive Church of England primary school and nursery delivering high quality education and opportunities to the pupils in and around the semi-rural village of Areley Kings on the south bank of the River Severn, Stourport-on-Severn.  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 chosen key values: Pride, Courage, Resilience, Love, Empathy and Respect.

Our school’s distinctively Christian vision is theologically-rooted in the Parable of the Lost Sheep (Matthew 18:10-14 and Luke 15:1-7), where everyone is precious and every member of our school community will go to great lengths to ensure every child is loved and cared for as part of our school family; never giving up on individuals regardless of how they look or act, just as God has compassion for every person.  Our vision is at the forefront of all decision-making for every strategy, policy and rationale.

Welcome to our website where you can enjoy the fantastic things we do”

WOW! Year 1 have been working so hard this week... some super work in maths with concrete resources, fantastic collaborative art work and exploring fossils as part of their topic!👏
We’re pleased to share that our school has been recognised as a Top 5% Primary school nationally for four awards in the Autumn 2025 census with The Engagement Platform (TEP).

Engagement is a powerful tool we are using to shape our school improvement over time. This recognition reflects
the consistent work of our employees, pupils and leaders to create a school where young people feel motivated,
included and supported.

We’re proud of the progress we’re making and committed to continuing this journey.
Today, Year 6 took a trip over to Wilden All Saints Church to study the famous Burne-Jones stained glass windows. This was the first lesson of our art unit and what a great source of inspiration it was. Thank you @wildenallsaints for having us.

At St Bart's, music brings us so much joy ...and our new drum kit has added to the excitement! What a great addition to our music room🎼
Continuing our learning at home is so important to us here at St Bart's! We are so proud of our year 3 children and all of the additional work they have been doing at home based on their Rainforest topic!🦎
Year 5 loved using salt dough to learn how to draw and create contour maps.
Our year 6 Design and Technology project has been to design and make shopping bags using only recylced materials. We were inspired both by the WW2 'Make Do and Mend' movement and the need to create more sustainable products for the future of our planet.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at St Bart's🌲
Year 4 have loved designing and making these Christmas tealight holders. They had to think about form, structure and functionality and learned lots of new skills whilst making them.

Our School Curriculum

At St Bartholomew’s CE Primary School & Nursery, we are proud to offer a broad and balanced curriculum that provides all pupils with a high-quality educational experience in all subject areas, providing a foundation for the next stage of their education and a successful future. Our exciting and innovative curriculum promotes and develops a love of learning through carefully planned areas of study from the National Curriculum, using key texts as drivers that connect all core and foundation subjects.  As we prepare our pupils for the rest of their lives, it is important that each child develops an understanding of how to learn and not just the retention of knowledge. Moreover, personal, social and emotional education and support plays an equally important role in equipping all pupils to be the best that they can be alongside spiritual, moral and cultural understanding development.
