Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 5 - Elf on the Shelf ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2070.jpeg) 15 December 2025 ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2070.jpeg) Unfortunately we have had some problems in the last 2 weeks with a naughty elf causing all kinds of mischief. At various times, Alfie the Naughty Elf has hidden glue sticks, blocked the clock, messed with the cushions and eaten all the biscuits. Hopefully these Christmas shenanigans are not distracting the children too much, who continue to work hard all the way up to the holiday.
