Everyone welcome! # Amazing attendance award! ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/attendance_10-_1.JPG) 7 November 2025 We are incredibly proud and thrilled to announce a significant achievement for our school family! We have been honoured with a national school attendance award, recognising our placement in the top 10% of all primary schools across England for the 2024/25 academic year. This outstanding accomplishment is a testament to the dedication of our children, the support of our parents and carers, and the hard work of our entire staff. It reflects our collective commitment to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to be in school, learning, and thriving. This success builds upon our previous achievement, where we were recognised for being in the top 25% of primary schools the year before. This consistent improvement demonstrates the positive impact of our ongoing efforts to promote excellent attendance and create an engaging and supportive learning environment for all. We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has contributed to this remarkable achievement. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/attendance_10-_1.JPG) [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/attendance) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_6699.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-06-week-1-of-bwd-boys-football-league) Previous ### [Week 1 of BWD Boys Football League ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-06-week-1-of-bwd-boys-football-league) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_5421.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-07-year-1-d-t-remembrance-day) Next ### [Year 1 D&T- Remembrance Day ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-07-year-1-d-t-remembrance-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/)
