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 1: Pinocchio Dance Workshop
Year 1 absolutely loved their Pinocchio workshop delivered by West End in Schools. Their part of the story was Pinocchio becoming a donkey. We are so proud of all of the children for stepping out of their comfort zone and joining in. They all had so much fun and we loved watching the story come together.
Year 1 DT: Cutting Skills
Year 1 practiced two types of cutting skills: claw hold and bridge hold. These techniques allow us to cut fruit or vegetables in a safe way. We learnt to hold the knife in our hand and place our index finger on top for control. We also had to pull the knife back and forth to cut. This will be useful when we make our healthy breakfast pots.
Year 1 History: Sharing Our Living Memory Interviews
At home, Year 1 have been interviewing their family members about toys they had when they were little. Together, we shared our interviews to discover toys that we have never seen or played with, as well as some toys which we still play with today. We noticed that our parent’s favourite toys were made from plastic, but any grandparent’s favourite toys were typically metal, wood or fabric. This helped us to understand more about toys from the past and the materials they were made from.
