Barby School is a 'Good' small rural primary school which prides itself on providing a warm, caring environment where everyone feels valued and recognised, and where there is a strong commitment to the welfare and well-being of children.

Barby CE Primary School LogoBarby is a small, friendly, rural school with a welcoming ethos where children are at the heart of what we do.

We seek to provide a rounded education where all aspects of school are valued. We encourage children to take part in many activities; linked with the church, sports, music and other activities such as culture days. We recognise the many achievements of our pupils through weekly celebration assemblies.

We are proud to be part of our local community and welcome people into our school to share worship, read in partnership and join us for events such as our summer fete. We embrace any opportunity to engage with our local community and the wider world.

We have a wonderful site that includes a natural spinney, a large outdoor classroom, a trim trail, class gardens, a games field, a playground and a vegetable garden. There are areas for quiet play and a contemplation garden is planned. Inside, the school is bright and welcoming with children’s work in evidence on the walls.

Our children are proud of their school and enjoy showing visitors around. They tell us that they enjoy coming to school, that adults listen to them and deal promptly with any problems. Relationships are central to our school. The staff team is highly professional and motivated to ensure the very best for all our children. We value the positive relationships that we enjoy with parents here and believe that by working together, we can equip children with the skills and knowledge they need for a happy, fulfilled, successful future.

The aims of the school are to achieve the highest possible standards by ensuring that all pupils fulfil every aspect of their potential across a broad curriculum and to educate those pupils in social, cultural, moral and spiritual values within a Christian environment.
