Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Merry Christmas Everyone! ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/christmas.PNG) 16 December 2022 Good afternoon parents and carers, thank you to everyone who joined us for our church service this morning. It was another great turn out. Thank you to our WOW group and Mrs Araujo for planning and leading the service, our choir for super singing and our KS2 classes for sharing what they have been learning about in RE this half term. If you weren’t able to attend, please see the videos posted on class dojo. We thanked our volunteers Carol, Fran, Glenda, John and Rev Ben who regularly support us in school. We also thanked Di Bryant, for her commitment to our school family over the last few years as a Governor. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our governors for their dedication to our school family this year. To learn more about our Governors, please click on the following page: [www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/key-information/governance](http://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/key-information/governance) We have had a brilliantly busy few weeks in school with fantastic nativities, Christmas cracker concerts, a pantomime, parties, a Christmas fair and Christmas lunch. A huge thank you to our staff team for their hard work and dedication to our school family. Thank you so much for your support and commitment to our school family. I think it’s safe to say that everyone is shattered now after such a busy term, so I hope that you all have a chance to rest and recharge. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas filled with hope, peace, joy and love. God bless, Mrs Ham P.S. It wouldn’t be Christmas without a St Barnabas Christmas video, so here it is: ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/christmas.PNG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/christmas_service_.jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-12-16-christmas-service-at-st-barnabas-church-lead-by-ks2) Previous ### [Christmas Service at St Barnabas Church, Lead by KS2](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-12-16-christmas-service-at-st-barnabas-church-lead-by-ks2) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG-8725(1).JPG)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-12-16-amazing-attendance-award-winners) Next ### [Amazing Attendance Award Winners](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-12-16-amazing-attendance-award-winners) ### 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/)
