The children loved hearing the story and were so inspired by her enthusiasm for reading. The children were highly engaged and are thrilled that she would like to return to read with us again soon. A huge thank you for visiting us. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-BF80C321-AB0D-4226-AB8C-825C6A0D64F2.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2672(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-02-year-5-national-storytelling-week) Previous ### [Year 5 - National Storytelling Week](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-02-year-5-national-storytelling-week) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0482(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-04-online-safety-supporting-safe-use-of-ai) Next ### [Online Safety: Supporting safe use of AI](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-04-online-safety-supporting-safe-use-of-ai) ### 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/)
