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 6 - Animals including humans
During today’s science experiment, Year 6 explored how restricted arteries can affect the human body. The children carried out an investigation using cups with different sized holes to model how blood flows through arteries. They poured water into each cup and timed how quickly it passed through, recording their results and comparing the differences. The cups with smaller holes represented restricted or clogged arteries, showing how blockages can slow down or even prevent the flow altogether. This hands on activity helped the children clearly visualise the impact of unhealthy arteries and deepen their understanding of the circulatory system.
Year 6 - Smart School Council
This week’s Smart School Council meeting focused on the idea of who children would like to sit next to in class. The discussion explored different options, including sitting next to a friend, sitting near a celebrity or choosing to sit independently. Pupils shared their opinions, considered the benefits of each choice and reflected on how seating arrangements can affect their learning and wellbeing.
