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”.

Year 1 Art: Jasper Johns Artwork
This week Year 1 created artwork inspired by Jasper Johns. He paints numbers mainly using primary colours and blending in some secondary colours. The children showed lots of skill with their paintings, making sure to outline the number with colour and blending colours together where they meet. Their artwork looks very impressive.
Year 5 - RE
In RE, we continued exploring the role Jesus played in the Bible as a teacher. We examined the parable of the Widow’s Gift. This story told by Jesus celebrates the generosity of those who are genuine and give as much as they can to help others. It emphasises the Christian values of generosity, sacrifice and love in action over greed and selfishness. The children considered how important such values are in the modern world.
Year 1 Maths: sorting 3D shapes
Year 1 have been working really hard to sort 3D shapes. They have been sorting groups into colour, shape and properties such as curved or straight edges, the amount of faces the shapes have and the number of vertices they have. The children had to look really closely at the shapes to understand their similarities and differences.
