My Time at St Bart’s

By Thomas Field

Head Boy 2022-2023

At St Bart’s, I have represented the school in lots of ways. Through sports and other things, such as, football tournaments, District Sports and by attending meetings with different schools in our confederation.

I started at St Bart’s in Reception and have been here all the way through to Year 6. I have had lots of fun experiences at St Bart’s through school trips and other things such as 'Teachers v students football matches' and being a judge at ‘Bart’s Got Talent’ and more. I have also taken part in lots of clubs at St Bart’s including cricket, athletics, football and netball.

St Bart’s has prepared me for the future in lots of ways and has taught me several important life lessons. The most important life lesson school has given me is to never give up in whatever I do. For me, the most memorable visit to the Church is always the one at the end of the year for the Year 6 Leavers Service, even though I have not been part of it until this year. I have enjoyed everything at St Bart’s and hope I continue to do so at secondary school.

My Time at St Bart’s

I joined St Bart’s in Year 1 and immediately loved it; everybody was so welcoming and very helpful.

First Steps is the place to be on a Monday morning!

Being at St Bart’s has taught me to believe in myself and respect others. It has also taught me to live life in all its fullness, which is why I enjoyed my time here so much.

The clubs at St Bart’s are amazing and have helped me to express myself, especially drama. Clubs aren’t the only way to express yourself and represent the school. As Head Girl, I have gone to meetings with other schools to discuss events that have taken place and ways to make our schools even better. There are also many out of school sporting competitions.

St Bart’s has helped me prepare for the future by teaching me many important life skills and many ways to be a better me.

Every year the Churches of St Bartholomew’s and St Christopher’s present the children who leave us at the end of Year 6 with a Youth Bible. We would like to thank the Parish for the bibles and for the continued support they give to our school.

Out article for this edition has been written by our current Head Boy and Head Girl in Year 6 for a different perspective of school life.

I am very proud of all the children at our school and wish our Year 6 pupils and their families all the very best for the future as they start their prospective secondary schools.
