The children had a brilliant session and took away some invaluable, life-saving knowledge, including the essentials of CPR, how to stay safe around water, and the correct, safe actions to take to help a friend in difficulty. @lancashirefireandrescueservice(official)and @BWDleisure [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [P.E](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2018(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-18-whole-school-worship-with-rev-matt) Previous ### [Whole School Worship with Rev Matt ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-18-whole-school-worship-with-rev-matt) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0581.JPG)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-22-singing-worship) Next ### [Singing Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-22-singing-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/)
