Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # The WOW Group - Recycle to Read Campaign Launch Assembly ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2633(1).jpeg) 20 May 2026 This week, the WOW group spoke to the rest of the school about ways we can reduce waste when it comes to our toys. They launched our Recycle to Read campaign by explaining that throughout June and at the beginning of July families can take their broken plastic toys to Tesco Extra in Horwich, Leyland or Chorley and place them in collection bins to earn points for our school. These points will go towards earning free books for the school. If our families are unable to get to the specified stores, school will be collecting broken plastic toys on their behalf. The WOW group also introduced our Toy Swap Shop event, which will be held on Tuesday 9th June after school. Children who bring in a pre-loved toy on Monday 8th or Tuesday 9th June will be able to visit our Toy Swap Shop to choose a replacement toy to bring home. It’s the perfect time to have a half term sort-out! ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2633(1).jpeg) [Worship Our Way](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship-our-way) [Christian Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [Climate action / Sustainability](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/climate-action-sustainability) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4144.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-19-year-5-money-matters) Previous ### [Year 5 - Money Matters](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-19-year-5-money-matters) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/FA7784F2-E517-41C2-A9CA-E4ACA29181C3.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-21-year-1-re-how-do-jews-welcome-babies) Next ### [Year 1 RE: How Do Jews Welcome Babies?](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-21-year-1-re-how-do-jews-welcome-babies) ### 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/)
