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’.

First, we explored how programming affects real world technology, such as traffic lights and vending machines. Then the children watched a video demonstrating a range of uses for programming before debugging a program for a Sphero robot.
Reception Remembrance Day
This week in Reception, we have been learning about Remembrance Day and the importance of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance. Through hands-on activities, the children explored this theme by designing artistic poppies with loose parts, practising their fine motor skills by creating detailed patterns on poppy petals, and by sharing their own thoughtful prayers and kind words of thanks for brave soldiers and service members.

Online Safety: Advertisements
From influencer promotions to in-game adverts, children are exposed to advertising across their digital lives. But with developing critical thinking skills and increasingly sophisticated marketing techniques, recognising when content is trying to sell them something isn't always easy. Our latest #WakeUpWednesday guide examines: • The growing influence of influencer marketing on children's purchasing decisions • How online advertising can create pressure on parents to buy products • The impact of unrealistic expectations around products, appearance and lifestyle • Exposure to harmful or age-inappropriate advertising • The risks of unintended purchases through games, apps and online platforms • How a lack of advertising transparency can make promotional content difficult to recognise Access the guide: https://vist.ly/5ratc #Education #OnlineSafety #DigitalLiteracy #MediaLiteracy
