KEY INFORMATION
St Bernadette’s Primary School is a Catholic School in the trusteeship of the Diocese of Westminster. We are an Academy forming the ‘All Saints’ Trust’ alongside St Gregory’s High School, Our Lady of Grace Infant and Junior Schools and St Margaret Clitherow Primary School (all Brent Schools). We are situated in a residential area adjacent to Queensbury Recreation Ground in the parish of All Saints’ Church, Kenton and also we serve neighbouring parishes of St Erconwald’s, St William of York and St Anthony’s.
St Bernadette’s opened in September 1953 with 188 pupil on roll. The school has expanded and became an Academy in January 2016 with our Nursery and caters now for 480 children from ages 3+ to 11. The children are arranged in two mixed ability classes in each age group from Reception to Year 6. School starts at 8.55am and ends at 3.20pm, (with 1 hour lunch break).
The Diocesan Education Commission is responsible for appointment of Foundation Governors. The School Governors’ responsibilities are to ensure that the distinctive nature of Catholic education is preserved and developed and to provide a strategic plan for school development, so that pupils are given every opportunity to develop their talents to the full, reaching the highest standards of which they are capable. The School governors are also responsible for the appointment of the staff and the admission of pupils.
The school is responsible for the expenditure of its own budgets. The Academy (Multi-Academy Trust) has a strategic Trust Board made up of 10 representatives who are a mixture from the schools within our MAT. Our Governing Body reports to the Trust Board but maintains its independence under our ‘Scheme of Delegation.’
