From the St Barnabas CofE VA Primary School
Our adults and children's behaviour and character are shaped by our Christian faith.
The spiritual, moral, and cultural growth of each and every student is a priority at St. Barnabas' Church of England Primary School.
The School acknowledges and upholds its Church of England roots, and it places a high priority on its unique, ongoing relationship with the parish church of St. Barnabas' Church. The priest, who has a deep love for the school, and the parish church have an incredibly great relationship.
Our worship services are structured to teach kids about the Christian faith and principles as they are presented in the Bible.
Our children, parents, and staff come from a broad variety of backgrounds with varying views on faith and commitment, and we are aware of this, therefore our worship is sensitive to this topic.
We worship in a Christian environment since we are a Church of England school.
Parents' freedom to keep their kids out of religious activities and instruction is upheld.
Both the school and the church gain from their relationship.
through encouraging a sense of community and connection to the school.
