Headteacher’s Welcome

Bartley Green is a forward thinking traditional school, we are always looking at new innovations and practices and combine these with our traditional values; traditions such as respect towards each other, working hard, spending quality time on homework, attending every day and on time. Everyone, all abilities are capable of meeting the expectations in these areas. It’s because of these high expectations, together with exceptional high quality of teaching that at the end of 5 years with us, pupils leave with the best possible outcomes and have in front of them choices for their futures.

We are passionate that our school should be the best it can be and proud that our children achieve brilliant results at the end of their career with us. Yes of course exam results matter but we strive also to ensure that a Bartley Green pupil has a rounded experience at school which contributes towards the adults they become.

Visitors to the school comment on the climate for learning, the ethos and the culture among the pupils and their positive relationships with each other and our staff. A lot goes on in and out of school; on any given day there may well be educational visits, workshops, enrichment activities, study skill lessons, mentoring sessions and adults from the community working with our pupils.

Our passion is to enable every pupil to achieve success, with a pupil centred approach:

· Academically by providing a first rate education; high quality professional development for teachers ensures that lessons are carefully planned and delivered, catering for all abilities.

· Socially and culturally through an extensive programme of visits, trips, artistic and musical experience. Offering also a wide range of after school extra-curricular activities; there really is something for everyone.

· Personally by guiding pupils through their teenage years; to become active, informed and responsible citizens in their own neighbourhood, in their country and globally.

High expectations for pupil achievement, pupil enjoyment in their education and personal well-being are core values of the school; teaching and support staff are of the highest quality and provide an excellent education for every Bartley Green pupil. Nine hundred pupils and over one hundred adults contribute towards the character and personality of Bartley Green; it’s a very unique place to be.
