*  Big News: National Attendance Award Winners! *

We are absolutely delighted to announce that St Barnabas CofE Primary Academy has been recognised with another National School Attendance Award for the Autumn 2025/26 term! 

Thanks to our amazing pupils and families, we have ranked once again in the Top 10% of all FFT primary schools in England for our attendance.

 * A Heartfelt Thank You *
To our parents and carers: this award belongs to you too. Thank you for your continued support, your communication, and for ensuring your children are through the gates and ready to learn every single day. We couldn't have achieved this "Top 10%" status without your commitment.

* Why Attendance Matters *
Regular attendance isn't just about certificates; it’s about giving our children the best start in life. When children attend school regularly, they:

* Build Strong Friendships: Consistency helps children develop social skills and lasting bonds.

* Boost Confidence: Staying on track with lessons prevents the "catch-up" stress and keeps them feeling capable.

* Unlock Potential: Every day in school is a new opportunity for a "lightbulb moment" that could spark a lifelong passion.

Let’s keep this incredible momentum going into the next term! Go Team St Barnabas! ✨
