HEADTEACHER’S WELCOME

 

At St Barnabas’ Church of England Primary School we are proud of our supportive, caring school ethos which is based on Christian values – friendship, trust, peace, forgiveness, creativity and compassion. These qualities were celebrated recently in our Church inspection.

We encourage self-respect and respect for others. We aim high and are ambitious for our children: we want them to be happy and self-confident, to develop a love for learning and to be the very best that they can be. We welcome all children – no matter what their individual needs – and strive to include them with additional support in all areas of the curriculum. We aim for every child to make progress whatever their starting point or background.

We build good relationships with all our families, creating a close community and an effective partnership with parents. Older children support the younger ones in a variety of ways, helping newcomers to feel secure and enjoy their time with us. All our children are taught to share a sense of respect and responsibility towards each other.

 

In 2018 we were inspected by Ofsted. We were judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted who acknowledged the strength of relationships with children and parents and the good quality of teaching and learning. Our reports can be read by clicking on the links below.

 

The best way to understand our aims and values is to visit our school “in action”. Please come and experience first-hand what we are all about so that we can answer any questions you may have.

 

We look forward to welcoming you to St Barnabas.

 

Lindsay Clough, Headteacher
