Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 4 - Linking Schools: Courageous Advocacy ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1617.jpeg) 19 June 2024 A few weeks ago, the Year 4 class discussed a number of ideas to improve our community and decided on one issue to focus on. After a vote, the children decided they would like to tackle vandalism in the area. This week, we walked to Whitehall Park to assess the damage and found much of the equipment to be unsafe to play on. We took pictures of the problem areas and the children have decided they want to write to their local MP to ask him to repair the park. We are really hoping for a reply! ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_1617.jpeg) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Linking Schools](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/linking-schools) [Courageous Advocacy](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/courageous-advocacy) [Climate action / Sustainability](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/climate-action-sustainability) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1555.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-06-18-high-fives-netball-winners) Previous ### [High Fives Netball Winners ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-06-18-high-fives-netball-winners) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8458.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-06-20-year-6-safety-seymour) Next ### [Year 6 - Safety Seymour ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-06-20-year-6-safety-seymour) ### 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/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
