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 - Science
In science, we looked at how the Earth moves through space and how this creates day, night and the seasons. After going through the concepts and vocabulary, the children used torches to mimic the light and heat from the Sun and table tennis balls to mimic the Earth. By rotating the ball on its axis, the children saw how sides faced towards and away from the light, creating day and night. Then the children moved the ball around the torch, with different hemispheres receiving different amounts of light over the course of its orbit, creating winter and summer.
Wire sculpture in Year 4
In our art lesson we explored how shapes can be formed and joined in wire. We bent the wire to make different shapes, joined it with twists and loops and added detail using smaller pieces of wire. We created some fantastic sculptures which included cars, humming birds and dragonflies.
Year 1 Geography: Searching for clues about seasons
In Geography, we searched for clues to decide what season we are in. We looked for information about the colours of leaves, the weather and the plants. We were able to find some red and orange leaves, leaves on the ground and we had some windy and rainy weather which helped us to decide that we were in Autumn.
