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 - Children in Need
Year 6 had a fantastic time coming to school in their pyjamas or spots to show their support for Children in Need! The children embraced the opportunity to dress down, have some fun and, most importantly, help raise awareness and money for an incredibly worthwhile cause. It was lovely to see everyone getting involved and showing their kindness, generosity and community spirit. Well done, Year 6!
Computing in Year 4
Year 4 are learning about computational thinking and how to solve problems in the fastest and shortest ways possible. They played Danger Quest and Lightbot Hour to learn about problem solving skills and further their programming knowledge.
Friday Celebration Worship -Children in Need
This morning, we came together for our Friday Celebration Worship, taking time to reflect on another busy and successful week filled with many wonderful highlights. This week, we celebrated Remembrance Day, launched our exciting new lunchtime and after-school clubs and announced our new Science Ambassadors, School Councillors and Rotakid Leaders. We also enjoyed some valuable road safety awareness workshops. A huge well done goes to our Year 5/6 boys’ football team, who have made a fantastic start to the DPSSA Football League by winning their first two matches and they got through to the semi final of the EFL cup in the morning! They represented our school brilliantly and we are incredibly proud of them. We then presented our Barney’s Brilliant Beacons awards. Congratulations to Abigail, Ohana, George, Max and Evie in Reception and KS1 and Vienna, Callie, Seb, Aura, Chloe, Finley, Arlo and Miley in KS2. These children consistently demonstrate maturity, impeccable manners and a determination to strive for excellence. Keep shining brightly! We also celebrated Albie in Year 4 who has achieved a completely green heat map on Times Table Rock Stars – a fantastic achievement! Mrs Govan then introduced an exciting ADVENTure Trail Art Competition, with a deadline of 2nd December. Please check Class Dojo for further details on how to take part. We brought our worship to a thoughtful close with some beautiful prayers from Olivia and Harry. They led us in remembering the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice as well as thinking of children in need who are less fortunate than ourselves. Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us for Celebration Worship this morning and to everyone who has donated to Children in Need. We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our wider school family for your continued encouragement and support. It really does mean so much. We wish everyone a lovely and enjoyable weekend! Finally, a little reminder that today is Odd Socks Day, marking the launch of Anti-Bullying Week. We look forward to seeing everyone celebrating what makes us all unique!
