We walked to the old school which is now Barnabas House nursery. Lots of the children recognised this building as they used to go to the nursery. We discussed how small it is compared to our big school. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/A63433C7-5C93-444A-8531-6D71DDC2FD02.jpeg) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [History](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_7517(1).JPG)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-10-14-year-5-move-and-learn) Previous ### [Year 5 - Move and Learn ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-10-14-year-5-move-and-learn) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/Disco-Stylistic-Features.jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-10-18-whitehall-park-values-winner-s-disco-and-non-uniform-day) Next ### [Whitehall Park- Values Winner's Disco and Non-uniform Day](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-10-18-whitehall-park-values-winner-s-disco-and-non-uniform-day) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
