Welcome to our school website.
At St Barnabas we strive to help every child to, ‘achieve great things’ and live ‘life in all its fullness’ by inspiring them with rich, fun experiences and equipping them with a love of learning. Our school has a strong Christian ethos built on our core Gospel values which the children chose themselves: Trust, Forgiveness,Friendship, Generosity, Respect, Service and Courage. St Barnabas was known in the Bible as an encourager so we try to follow his example and encourage others. With close links with our parish church, other schools in our multi-academy Trust and our dedicated team of staff, governors and parents, we take pride in, “Learning and growing together in a love-filled Christian family”.

Craft Club Trick or Treat Bags
For the past 2 weeks at our after school Craft Club, the children have been creating mixed media trick or treat bags! In week 1 they designed their bag on paper before adding colour with fabric pens. This week, they used felt to create the main design and then added ribbons and beads for extra colour and texture. I wonder how full these will be on 31st October!
Reception- Owl Babies
This week, Reception class' learning has been inspired by the beloved story Owl Babies, which linked wonderfully with our discussions about how each of us is special and how important our families are to us. Across our provision, the children are busy exploring the story through hands-on creative activities while working hard on their fine motor skills. They are experimenting with painting techniques using sponges to create realistic feather textures on their owls, and they are practising their pencil grip and control by carefully drawing patterns on owl templates. In our creative area, the children are enjoying making their own owls using collage materials, and they are bringing the characters Sarah, Percy, and Bill to life by crafting them out of playdough and additional resources to retell the story. To build up their hand strength and precision, they are having great fun using tweezers to pick up and feed worms to the owls. We are so proud of all their hard work and creativity.
Reception: Mystery Reader
In preparation for Give Like Dolly Day, Reception enjoyed a very special storytime session today when Georgie’s mummy came to visit. The children were completely captivated as she read two fantastic stories: The Dinosaur That Pooped the Bed and Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the joy of reading, and we would like to send a big thank you to Georgie’s mummy for taking the time to share these brilliant books with us!
