Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 4 - Visit to St Matthew’s ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2839.jpeg) 17 June 2026 This week was the Year 4 class’s long anticipated trip to meet their link class. After a short minibus ride into Blackburn, we arrived at St Matthew’s CE Primary School to the most wonderful welcome from Doves class. We had a short getting-to-know-you session and then split up into our mixed groups. We had great fun creating handshakes, decorating friendship poems and having a picnic lunch together. We can’t wait to welcome St Matthew’s to our school next week. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2839.jpeg) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Linking Schools](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/linking-schools) [Enrichment](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3444.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-16-year-6-darwen-literature-festival) Previous ### [Year 6 - Darwen Literature Festival ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-16-year-6-darwen-literature-festival) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2018(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-18-whole-school-worship-with-rev-matt) Next ### [Whole School Worship with Rev Matt ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-18-whole-school-worship-with-rev-matt) ### 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/)
