The children were introduced to what to expect in secondary school, including routines, expectations and aspects of school life. The session provided an opportunity for the children to ask questions and begin to feel more confident about the move to Year 7. The children engaged well in the discussions, showing enthusiasm and maturity throughout. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2821.jpeg) [Year 6](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3781.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-20-year-5-rotakids) Previous ### [Year 5 - RotaKids](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-20-year-5-rotakids) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3809.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-21-year-5-pshe) Next ### [Year 5 - PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-21-year-5-pshe) ### 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/)
