Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 1: Give Like Dolly Day ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/6F8971C8-182A-4A04-BCC4-7CC07D782811.jpeg) 1 October 2026 Year 1 had a blast today. They came in bright and sparkly clothing for Give Like Dolly Day. We learnt about Dolly Parton’s generosity for gifting millions of books to children and highlighting the importance of reading. We sang 9-5 in whole school worship, watched videos of Dolly Parton reading stories and had some colourings and word searches. The favourite was definitely designing their own cowboy boots. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/6F8971C8-182A-4A04-BCC4-7CC07D782811.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/fundraising) [National Year of Reading](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/national-year-of-reading) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3502.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-30-year-3-science-clean-coins-and-conclusions) Previous ### [Year 3 - Science: Clean Coins and Conclusions](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-30-year-3-science-clean-coins-and-conclusions) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4564(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-10-02-friday-celebration-worship) Next ### [Friday Celebration Worship ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-10-02-friday-celebration-worship) ### 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/)
