Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Sportshall Athletics Club ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_5871.jpeg) 20 November 2024 In club this week, the children focused on speed bounce, chest push and long jump. They all worked really hard on developing their speed and agility, particularly with the speed bounce. We also practiced effective takeoff in the long jump with driving our lead leg upward to generate power. Consistency is key and landing leaning forward or to one side prevents us from losing key inches. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_5871.jpeg) [P.E](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/clubs) [Competitions](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/competitions) [Enrichment](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1528.JPG)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-11-19-year-5-6-football-club) Previous ### [Year 5&6 Football Club](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-11-19-year-5-6-football-club) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/8E55AD73-E620-4998-B4B8-B339D6CFF33D.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-11-21-reception-how-the-church-celebrates-christmas) Next ### [Reception - How the Church celebrates Christmas ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-11-21-reception-how-the-church-celebrates-christmas) ### 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/)
