Information about the school

Each child is uniquely created and loved by God.

St Barnabas’ Primary School, Tunbridge Wells, is a Voluntary Aided Church School, with our ethos and values reflected in strong Christian tradition.

As a smaller school we have the privilege of knowing every child really well, from our youngest to the oldest pupil. We greatly value all members of our school community and place our partnership and relationships with families, community and church at the top of our priority list!

In January 2024 Ofsted found that our school continued to be a good school. Our report highlights:

'Pupils are proud to attend this welcoming, safe and inclusive school. They value their caring teachers, who work hard to make learning both interesting and enjoyable. The school values of ‘aspiration, love, trust, perseverance, compassion and reconciliation’ are well understood by pupils. Everyone has a strong sense of belonging to their school community. As one pupil said, ‘Everyone is kind here, and I try to return that kindness.’

In February 2023 our SIAMs Inspection graded St Barnabas’ CE Primary School as a Good church school.

These are exciting times for our school; our doors are always open and you are very welcome to visit us and to see for yourself just what it is that makes St Barnabas’ School so very special.

Our Victorian building provides space for 7 class groups, library and intervention space, resource storage, ICT suite, and outdoor space. Our garden area consists of a small wooded corner, pond and reading library. We also have a new outside classroom.
