## Welcome from Our Headteacher

![](https://www.st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/images/Welcome_20261026125345794.jpg)

I have worked at St Bart’s a very long time (over three decades) and am very proud to be the headteacher. I do my best to ensure that the children enjoy coming to our school and their education and wellbeing are central to everything we do.  If our children do not enjoy school and attend every day they cannot flourish.

We are a large, Church of England, inner city, multi-cultural church school, which bases its ethos and vision on Christian values. We value the contribution that everyone makes to school life, placing great importance on creating fulfilled and happy people.

Our school’s Christian vision represents all that we strive for; Using the story of The Lost Sheep to underpin our belief that no child or adult be left behind and we will support all our school family to achieve their best.

We have high expectations of all children both personally and academically. We aim to provide young people with the experiences they need to develop into successful learners; confident individuals and compassionate citizens in society with successful futures ahead of them.

It is our aim that at the end of their years' at St Bart’s, all children will have a sense of achievement and fulfilment because of their experiences and education here and will leave us for their next school as a well-rounded individual.

The governors, teachers, support staff and all stakeholders are dedicated to providing the best possible broad and balanced education for children and we work enthusiastically to achieve this.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school and I hope that your child will be very happy with us and we can work together to ensure they achieve their best.

Please [get in touch](https://www.st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/contact) if you have any questions or concerns.
