Welcome to our school family
We would like to say a huge welcome to the 30 families who found out this morning that their child has got a place in our Reception class in September. We can't wait for you to be part of our school family and to start a seven year journey with us at St Barnabas. We will be in touch shortly with transition information, once everyone has accepted their place.
