Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Our new Reception stars! ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_7391.jpeg) 3 July 2025 Our new Reception class of children had a wonderful time exploring their new classroom and outdoor learning area, making new friends along the way. It was lovely to see their excitement and curiosity as they visited different areas of their new environment. They have already settled in beautifully, showing so much courage, confidence and kindness to each other. We are so proud of how quickly they have settled into our school family, and we are really looking forward to welcoming them properly in September!![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_7391.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/unnamed_(38).jpg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-03-reception-to-year-1-move-up-day) Previous ### [Reception to Year 1 move up day](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-03-reception-to-year-1-move-up-day) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_6452.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-04-friday-celebration-worship) Next ### [Friday Celebration Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-04-friday-celebration-worship) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
