Welcome to our school website.
At St Barnabas we strive to help every child to, ‘achieve great things’ and live ‘life in all its fullness’ by inspiring them with rich, fun experiences and equipping them with a love of learning. Our school has a strong Christian ethos built on our core Gospel values which the children chose themselves: Trust, Forgiveness,Friendship, Generosity, Respect, Service and Courage. St Barnabas was known in the Bible as an encourager so we try to follow his example and encourage others. With close links with our parish church, other schools in our multi-academy Trust and our dedicated team of staff, governors and parents, we take pride in, “Learning and growing together in a love-filled Christian family”.

English Report Writing in Year 4
Year 4 are now in their final phase of our English writing unit which involves writing a Persuasive Magic Show Report. This is based on our class novel - Leon and the Place Between by Angela McAllister. The children have worked exceptionally hard on their plans in order to prepare for this write and they have included a range of fronted adverbials, expanded noun phrases, questions, alliteration and use of present perfect tense. We can’t wait to share the end result next week!
