Good afternoon parents and carers,
Wow, what another busy week at St Barnabas! We had a visit from our Trust CEO, Mr Ashworth, on Wednesday and a brilliant stay and play session on Thursday morning. It was an absolute pleasure to show our visitors around and your children made me so proud as they showed off their brilliant behaviour and showed lots of kindness and respect. One potential parent emailed afterwards to say that ‘All of the children at St Barnabas are an absolute joy!’ I couldn’t agree more!
A huge thank you to everyone who came to our Macmillan Coffee Morning this morning. Thank you so much for all of your generous cake donations which meant that every child in school was able to enjoy a cake. Thank you for your very kind donations to Macmillan. If you would still like to make a donation please do so via parent pay.
A quick reminder that we have our Harvest church festival this Sunday and our choir will be singing. Please meet at 10.50am in your smart school uniform. Non-choir members are welcome to come along and join in too.
