Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Small but mighty girls’ football team! ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_6466.jpeg) 23 October 2025 We are so proud of our girls’ football team for their brilliant performances and teamwork over the last four weeks, ending on an impressive 11-0 win against Ashleigh. They came 4th overall out of 12 schools across Blackburn with Darwen. In their words, they might be small but they are mighty! Our team is made up of girls in Years 3, 4 and 5 this year so we are so proud of them for stepping up as it is the Years 5 & 6 league. We are sure they will improve year on year! A huge thank you to Mr Bloomfield for giving up his time to coach the team on Tuesdays and referee the matches. Thanks also to our parents for their support at the matches and helping to transport the girls. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_6466.jpeg) [P.E](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [Competitions](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/competitions) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_6370.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-22-fosb-spooky-discos) Previous ### [FOSB Spooky Discos ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-22-fosb-spooky-discos) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8268.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-30-half-term-netball-fitness-camp) Next ### [Half Term Netball & Fitness Camp ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-30-half-term-netball-fitness-camp) ### 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/)
