We warmly welcome you to St Bartholomew's CE Primary School


Hello and a very warm welcome to St Bartholomew’s—or as we are known to our friends and family, St Bart’s!
 
Nestled in the beautiful semi-rural village of Areley Kings, right on the south bank of the River Severn, our school is much more than just a place of learning. We are a thriving, inclusive Church of England primary school and nursery where every child is encouraged in all aspects of their learning and a place where everyone is cared for.
 
At St Bart’s, we hold the highest expectations for our pupils, but we know that children only truly flourish when they feel safe, happy, and loved. As a Church school, our six key values—Pride, Courage, Resilience, Love, Empathy, and Respect—are the heartbeat of everything we do, from the classroom to the playground.
 
Our vision is inspired by the Parable of the Lost Sheep. It reminds us that every single child is precious. Just as the shepherd went to great lengths to find the one who was lost, our dedicated team goes to great lengths to ensure no child is left behind. We are a school family that never gives up on an individual, treating everyone with the same compassion and care that God has for us all. This "family-first" approach is at the very front of every decision we make.
 
We are so proud of our children and the vibrant community we’ve built together. Please take a look around our website to get a true taste of the fantastic things happening here every day.

St Bartholomew's C of E Primary School & Nursery

St Bartholomew’s, known affectionately by many as St. Bart’s, is a thriving, inclusive Church of England primary school and nursery

Last week, our wonderful Year 6 children got to meet their new 'Buddies' in Reception Class. This is such a fantastic way for our older children to mentor our younger ones and, as you can see, there are some lovely bonds forming already. Well done Year 6 for being such great role models!❤️
Year 6 have been designing stained glass windows. We are now taking a great deal of time and effort to bring them to life. During this unit we have taken inspiration from artists, Edward Burne-Jones and Henri Matisse. We have also looked at the painstaking craftsmanship behind making them.
Year 5 had great fun for their Golf Day at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham. They got to meet Sam Horsfield, an English professional golfer who currently competes in the LIV Golf League as a member of the all-English Majesticks GC team. He is a three-time European Tour winner and has a career-high world ranking of 64. We played lots of Golfing games and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
In prepartation for celebrating 'GRT History Month'!
It was so lovely to have family members come together to decorate Vardos. These beautiful designs were inspired by historic travelling homes and will be displayed both in the Hartlebury Museum itself and then around the local community. 

Thank you to the ladies from @hartleburycastle who came into school to help run this workshop. Later this month, years 2,3,4 and 5 will be heading to Hartlebury Castle to take part in sessions with a traditional GRT storyteller and drama workshop.🎉
Excited to be a local partner school for the Tesco 'Free Fruit and Veg for Schools' programme👏

We have been so proud of our Year 6 children this week during their SATs! Their amazing attitude to learning and their determination to do the best they can, has been fantastic to see! Well done all!🎉💯🌟
As part of their current history topic, all about John Cadbury, Year 1 took a trip to Cadbury's World. They learned all about chocolate - how it is made and where it comes from. They loved this trip so much they wanted to go the next day...and the next ...and the next...❤️
