Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 6 - Black History Month ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_4508.jpeg) 19 October 2026 As part of our Black History Month celebrations, the children explored the inspirational life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and his powerful dream of a world filled with equality, kindness and fairness. Inspired by his famous ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, the children created stunning pieces of artwork representing their own hopes and dreams for our world. Their work beautifully expressed their aspirations for a brighter future, where everyone is treated with respect, valued for who they are and given the opportunity to thrive. We are incredibly proud of the creativity, thoughtfulness and powerful messages behind their artwork! ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_4508.jpeg) [Year 6](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [History](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/british-values) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4340.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-10-16-speak-up-for-black-history-in-year-4) Previous ### [Speak up for Black History in Year 4 ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-10-16-speak-up-for-black-history-in-year-4) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_5124.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-10-19-year-5-black-history-month) Next ### [Year 5 - Black History Month](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-10-19-year-5-black-history-month) ### 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/)
