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 5 - Music
Mr Hannon recapped the ideas from previous lessons, with a discussion of chords, triads and accompaniment. The lesson then introduced how to construct chords using specific hand positions to play the chords C, F and A minor within the song “Stay with Me” by Sam Smith. The children then created their own chord progressions and melodic improvisations.
Year 5 - Online Safety
Today we discussed the social media app WhatsApp, including what it is and how it can be used safely. WhatsApp is a popular way of sharing messages, videos and photos that many children use to keep in contact with friends and family. The app’s minimum age is 16 and we discussed how the privacy settings can be altered so that children can only interact with people in their contacts list. Other safety steps include turning off Live Location, blocking and leaving inappropriate chats as well as deleting mistaken messages.
