Classteacher

St Barnabas Primary Academy is part of Vantage CE Academies Trust and is one of 10 schools across Manchester, Trafford, Salford, Bolton and Knowsley.

St Barnabas primary school is situated in the local community of Openshaw. We are a CE school of 240 pupils and have been supporting our community since 2012. What makes our school special? At St Barnabas, we place a strong emphasis on the individual child and encourage our children to make the most of each opportunity, in order to gain the best from their education within our Christian setting. We work with the children to help them prepare for the ever-changing world in which we live, and to develop their skills in order to sustain life-long learning as well as strong self-belief and spirituality. Our key Christian values are at the heart of all that we do in preparing our children to shine brightly: love, service, courage, forgiveness, compassion and generosity. ‘Shine like stars in the universe.’
