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”. 

We would welcome you to come along and visit our school as ‘Every day is an open day at St Barnabas’. If you would like to arrange a visit then please contact our school office on 01254 702996 or email [email protected]. Please check out our school twitter/ X page , our facebook page, our gallery or latest news to see all of the fun things we get up to at St Barnabas.

A huge well done to our girls’ football team, who kicked off the league in fantastic style with three wins from 3 games. Some impressive performances and brilliant scores to go alongside them.

Year 6 - Remembrance

Today, Year 6 visited Darwen Cemetery to care for the war graves that our school has proudly adopted. The children showed great respect as they cleaned and looked after the graves, taking time to reflect on the lives and sacrifices of those who served during times of conflict. The children then visited the Remembrance Memorial, where they reflected on the importance of remembrance and why it is so important that we continue to honour those who gave so much for others. This visit formed an important part of our preparation for our upcoming Remembrance Service and helped the children to understand the significance of the occasion in a meaningful and personal way, as well as deepening their knowledge of World War II.

Year 1 RE: Harvest Hamper

🌽Year 1 RE: Harvest Hamper 🥫 Year 1 collected food items to donate in our collective Harvest Hamper. This will go to families in need. We will be giving our hamper at St Barnabas Church on Sunday during the Harvest Family service. We can't wait to see as many children as possible singing songs of thanks. Thank you for all of your generosity! If any other year groups would like to donate any tins, packets or cans of food, please send them into school over the next couple of weeks as we are collecting for those in need locally.
