From the Keyham Barton Catholic Primary School
At Keyham Barton Catholic Primary School, we work hard to give our students an education that inspires them and gives them the tools they need to become the greatest versions of themselves. Our commitment to love and excellence for every kid is a result of our commitment to our faith. We support them in discovering and honing their unique talents so they can live contented, honourable, and meaningful lives of their choosing. All of our kids should grasp life with both hands, with love, self-respect, respect for others and the wider world, and a smile. Both now and later. Our school is well known for its welcoming and supportive environment. Visitors frequently remark on how resilient, self-assured, and confident our students are. They also praise how supportively we all work together to create a school that we can all be proud of. Its school community includes people of all religions and no faiths, but our ethos has its roots in the Catholic faith. Anyone is welcome. I have come, Jesus continued, "so that you may have life, and life to the full." Regardless of belief, religion, or creed, we strive to provide every one of our children a rich existence. It is in our power to shape our children's chances in life and look after and improve the community in which we live, work and grow. For this reason, we believe in the importance of home, school and parish working in partnership so that any decisions made that involve our children and our community, present and future, are made together.
