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”.

Year 5 - Big Barney’s Assault Course
On Friday, we had the Big Barney’s Assault Course Challenge to raise money for Jehovah Rapha Healthcare Centre in Liwolo. The children traversed the fiendish course created by the Wow Group going through the hall, onto the playground, through the trim trail and ending on the Muga. Together we raised money for essential healthcare. Many thanks for all your kind donations.
Year 6 - Class Worship
As part of our class worship, we reflected on Remembrance Sunday, taking time to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms and allow future generations to live in peace. We explored how their bravery, courage and selflessness continue to shape the lives we live today. We also made links to our British Values, particularly individual liberty, democracy, the rule of law and mutual respect and tolerance, recognising how these freedoms should never be taken for granted. We considered how we can honour those who fell by demonstrating these values in our everyday lives, showing respect for others, celebrating differences, standing up for what is right and treating everyone with kindness and dignity. We also reflected on our protected characteristics, understanding that everyone deserves to be treated equally, regardless of their age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. Ultimately, we recognised that remembrance is not just about looking back at the past; it is about learning from it and taking responsibility for creating a future where everyone feels safe, valued, respected and free.
Year 1 History: Toy Detectives
Year 1 had a great time investigating toys today. They had to use their historical skills of materials to decide if the toy was new or old. Most newer toys are made from plastic, whereas old toys are metal and wooden. They enjoyed discovering how some of the old toys work such as the yo-yo and Jack in the Box.
