Why Choose a Catholic School?
Catholic schools have a reputation for the excellent quality of their teaching and the pastoral care they offer their students. Where space permits Catholic schools welcome applications from families of other faiths and none.
Catholic school students learn that God is present and active in their lives and in the world. They learn to experience God’s grace and presence in their lives through their relationships with family, friends and teachers. Catholic schools promote service as an essential component of their curriculum and they promote self-discipline through a clear moral vision that is based on the Gospel. Catholic education, and the students who are the product of it, have been called the “greatest work of the Church.”
Help with travel to primary school
The Blessed Edmund Powell Transport Trust (BEPTT) offers financial support to families to help with the cost of pupils travelling to St. Francis' and St. Bede’s primary schools. The trustees meet regularly to consider any applications.
The parish representative for BEPTT is Paul Stathers. His email address is ptstathers@gmail.com.
Travelling from Clevedon to Nailsea, Portishead or Bristol inevitably may create challenges for parents, but there is a strong network of families who work together to facilitate transport including the possibility of lift sharing. Contact the schools to discuss possibilities.
