Everyone welcome! # Year 6 - What can we learn from a Census? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1962.jpeg) 29 January 2026 Today, Year 6 focused on what we can learn from a census. The children observed the 1851 Royal Census and carefully analysed the information recorded, including names, ages, occupations and places of birth. The children discussed how historians use census data as a primary source to build an understanding of daily life in the past. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_1962.jpeg) [Year 6](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [History](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1963.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-29-year-6-gymnastics) Previous ### [Year 6 - Gymnastics ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-29-year-6-gymnastics) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/56B0A5EE-81D5-49C3-8E69-C9C954AF41A3.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-30-friday-celebration-worship) Next ### [Friday Celebration Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-30-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/)
