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.

Macmillan Coffee Morning
A massive THANK YOU to all the parents and carers who attended our Macmillan Coffee Morning today! We were absolutely overwhelmed by the fantastic turnout. 💚☕ Your generosity in donating cakes was incredible! Thanks to you, every single child was able to enjoy a sweet treat today. 🧁 We still have a few spare cakes left over, which will be on sale after school, so be sure to grab one while you can! A huge shoutout to our brilliant Heads and Deputies for doing such an amazing job hosting their very first event. 👏 We also want to send a massive thank you to our hardworking support staff—we couldn’t have done it without your ongoing support and dedication. Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated to this truly worthy cause. If you would still like to contribute, donations can now be made on Arbor (apologies for the earlier technical hiccups, it’s all set up and working now!) or you can drop off cash donations after school. 💷 Check out all the wonderful photos from this morning here (and huge apologies that I didn't manage to photograph absolutely everyone—it was mad busy in the best way possible!) 📸 https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-galleries/macmillan-coffee-morning-2026

Year 2 Maths- Times Table Rockstars
This morning, Year 2 enjoyed playing on Times Tables Rockstars. They practised their times tables through multiplication and division in both the jamming and garage setting. Well done, Year 2! 🎸🌟
Year 1 PE: Gymnastics
Year 1 had an amazing PE session this morning. We had lots of apparatus out to help us to practise our skills. The children had to practise frog jumps and bunny hops along a bench, caterpillar crawling around cones, practising bear crawl and crab crawl and a new roll called ‘Rock and Roll’. Their favourite station was climbing up high and jumping off onto a mat in a star position. It was great to see the children being brave to jump off from a high platform.
