OFSTED INSPECTION REPORT
"Pupils, parents and staff all share a sense of pride in belonging to St Bernadette’s. This is an inclusive school where everyone is made to feel welcome. There is a strong sense of togetherness. The school sits at the heart of the local community.
This is a school all about raising aspirations and broadening life experiences. Parents appreciate staff who go ‘above and beyond’ to support their children. This was summed up by one parent who said, ‘My child is happy, thriving and encouraged to do well.’ All pupils, particularly pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils, achieve well."
