St. Bernadette's is a Catholic Primary School offering full–time education for Reception to Year 6 (4-11 year olds), from September 2026 we also have a Nursery (3 year olds) Situated about a mile from Brownhills High Street in a pleasant location, with attractive grounds. 

At St. Bernadette’s, our staff work closely with children, parents, and the parish to provide the very best education for every child. Our pupils are at the heart of everything we do. While we value academic achievement, we also believe that school should be an enjoyable experience, helping children to grow and succeed across many different areas.

We offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, making the most of our small but wonderful playing fields. Our school provides a happy, safe, and supportive environment where children can explore beyond the classroom, developing independence and the confidence to become responsible, well-rounded adults.

Every child is unique, and we design a curriculum that meets individual needs. We know that children thrive when challenged and encouraged, so we hold high expectations and foster a belief in every child that they can succeed. Learning at St. Bernadette’s goes far beyond books; we embrace new technology, provide exciting opportunities, and create experiences that inspire curiosity and a love of learning.

Pastoral care is a cornerstone of our school. We value each student, nurture good behaviour, courtesy, and responsibility, and provide the right balance of challenge and support so that all children can flourish. Through learning, living, and praying together as part of our Catholic community, we aim to help every child recognise and celebrate their God-given gifts and talents.

The school was rated "Good" by Ofsted in the summer term of 2024.
