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”.

Reception: How do Hindu's celebrate Diwali?
This week in Reception, the children continued their learning about Diwali by exploring how many Hindu families celebrate the festival of lights. We talked about different traditions, such as gathering with family, wearing special clothes, sharing delicious festive meals, dancing, visiting the temple to pray, and watching colourful fireworks light up the night sky. The children brought these celebrations to life in the classroom by listening and dancing to traditional Indian music, dressing up in vibrant Indian outfits, and even enjoying a tasty sensory experience trying poppadoms and onion bhajis. They had a wonderful time immersing themselves in the festivities and learning about each other's diverse cultures and traditions!
