Congratulations to Valerie (Y5) for an amazing 2nd place in the Bury Education Partnership Spelling Bee Final @CountyHighSch ! 🐝✨ What a fantastic achievement to make the finals – we are so proud of the hard work, confidence and brilliant spelling skills of all 3 finalists!

This week, we’ve celebrated biodiversity on our own school site—looking after nesting ducks on the field & robins in the Reception shed. There lots of brilliant ways we can protect & encourage wildlife! Join in at home and share your #BiodiversityPledges 🌱✨

We’re delighted that our sustainability initiative & biodiversity focus made the @buryfree this week. Read the article here suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-edmund…

The senior pupil team are in action this evening, leading our open event for prospective parents.

Congratulations to Tom & Joe - our very cool music teachers from TF MUSIC - on their new album ‘Astrohearts’. A few of their Barrow fans loved seeing them perform as upcoming alt-pop artists ‘Loome’ at the launch gig last night. 🎸🎤

We enjoyed a Harvest Service in church today filled with generosity & thankfulness.

Another great performance at the Bury St Edmunds cross country event. A brilliant 2nd overall for our Y5&6 team. Go Barrow! 🏃🏼🏃🏽‍♀️

The first ‘book swap’ of the year saw some very exciting exchanges happening between our super keen readers at Barrow School.

At Barrow we have been focusing on becoming more generous people - and nothing shows this more clearly than the hundreds of items donated for today’s Harvest festival! Thank you so much to all our families.

Y1 thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the church this morning, learning all about Baptism with Rev Nicola. The parents and godparents of baby ‘Rosie’ and baby ‘Alex’, along with the congregation, all played their roles marvellously in a role play baptism!
