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”.
We would welcome you to come along and visit our school as ‘Every day is an open day at St Barnabas’.

Barney's Bonfire Bangers Disco
To celebrate Bonfire night, the Friends of St Barnabas (FOSB) organised an after school disco for KS1 and KS2. Everyone dressed up and enjoyed the music, crisps, sweets and drinks. Apart from dancing to disco bangers such as Waka Waka, Freed from Desire and Billie Jean, we also played classic party games such as Musical Bumps. Thank you to everyone who came and made it such a great night. A huge thanks to Mr Mealor, Mrs Irshad and Mrs Capitelli and our FOSB volunteers for their support.

Year 6 - Sustainability
As part of our ongoing climate action and sustainability project, Year 6 headed out into our local park to take part in a community litter-picking activity. The children worked together to tidy the park, collecting litter and ensuring that plastic and other waste were disposed of responsibly, helping to protect local wildlife and keep harmful materials out of the environment.
Year 6 - Wellbeing
Following their fantastic efforts and participation in the Remembrance Service at Darwen Cemetery, our Year 6 children enjoyed some well-deserved wellbeing time at the park. After representing St Barnabas so brilliantly and showing such maturity, respect and confidence throughout the service, it was lovely for them to have the opportunity to relax, play and enjoy some time together outdoors. A perfect way to round off a meaningful morning, recognising the children's efforts while supporting their happiness, friendships and wellbeing.
