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.

Year 5 - Music
Year 5 developed their aural skills by playing music by ear, focusing on pitch and rhythm. We identified these features of songs before repeating them on keyboards and playing short melodies. The lesson finished with groups performing to the class.
Whole School Worship with Rev Ben
Today we had Whole School Worship with Rev Ben. We started with a game of guess who looking at photos and saying their name. Rev Ben then asked us what they had in common. We realised that they were all in charge of something. Our Bible story then told us about what Jesus is in charge of. It was The Storm on The Lake. After a long day of teaching, Jesus and his disciples crossed the Sea of Galilee in a boat. Jesus fell asleep, but a violent storm arose, terrifying the disciples as waves filled the boat. They woke Jesus, who calmed the wind and waves with "Peace, be still," showing his power and teaching them to trust him. We talked about how Jesus is in charge of things that ordinary people can’t control. Sometimes it’s hard to have courage especially when facing things you can’t control.
Year 1: A Pancake Treat
Year 1 had a very exciting treat today, yummy pancakes made by professional bakers. They have worked extremely hard all half term and definitely deserved a treat! It was lovely to see the children using their manners when asking for their toppings too.
