Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Reception: Mother's Day Celebration ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0623.JPG) 11 March 2026 We are still smiling after our wonderful Reception Mother’s Day celebration! A huge thank you to all the incredible mums, grandmothers, and special figures who joined us today. We were absolutely thrilled with the turnout—having our school hall filled with so much love made the day truly special. Seeing the joy on the children’s faces as they shared this time with you is exactly why we love what we do. We hope you have a restful and well-deserved Mother’s Day this Sunday. You do so much for everyone else; we hope this weekend is all about celebrating you! A huge thank you to our local author, Collette for visiting and reading a story. Her book can be purchased here: If you enjoyed the book at the Mother's Day Celebration and want to support Collette in another way, reviews are very much appreciated on Waterstones or Amazon, you don't have to purchase the book from them to leave a review. Videos will be posted to Dojo shortly. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0623.JPG) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2447(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-10-year-6-british-science-week) Previous ### [Year 6 - British Science Week](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-10-year-6-british-science-week) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/1000028180.jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-12-kids-with-bricks-lego-club) Next ### [Kids with Bricks Lego Club](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-12-kids-with-bricks-lego-club) ### 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/)
