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.

Year 5 - Science
In science, we continued our study of life cycles by considering different ways in which insects change from egg to adult. Insects with 4 life cycle stages include a pupa in which metamorphosis from juvenile to adult occurs. This includes butterflies and moths. 3 stage life cycles are different because the young insect (nymph) looks very similar to the adult and sheds its outer skin to grow (moulting), which can be found in mayflies and grasshoppers. We then went outside to model these life cycles using PE equipment.
Reception class watch England v Mexico
Our reception class had the absolute best time cheering on England! They watched the England v Mexico match together as a class, and the energy in the room was incredible. It was so lovely to see them completely into the spirit of the game, chanting and cheering the boys on with so much enthusiasm. They are already buzzing with excitement to watch the next match or catch the highlights this weekend. Come on England!
Year 3- PSHE- Online Safety Lesson: "None of your business!"
This afternoon, our Year 3 class looked at a lesson titled "None of your business!" which focused on internet safety, privacy, and personal data. The children started with a fun "Guess Who?" game about celebrities to explore how we share information. They then watched an educational film clip called Lee and Kim by CEOP, which taught them about the potential dangers of sharing private details online with strangers. Through Super Sid’s top tips, the children learnt to recognise the "uh-oh" feeling (butterflies in the tummy) when something doesn't feel right and understood that they should always tell a trusted adult. We also discussed the concept of a "digital tattoo" to emphasise that once information or photos are posted on the internet, they are almost impossible to remove permanently. The class did a fantastic job learning how to keep themselves safe, private, and respectful online.
