Welcome to Barley Mow Primary School

Welcome
to our website, this will provide some useful and some essential information about our flagship building and school.

At Barley Mow, we value the partnership between school and home, which helps to develop confident, happy and secure children, one of the many areas recognised as outstanding in our last Ofsted inspection. We always put our children first and treat them as members of our extended family, where every person is valued but is also responsible for everything they do. Together we can make a huge, positive difference to their lives.

We believe that all of our children are capable of great things and by working together, we can help them achieve their goals. This website is an essential means of communication between all of our partners. It is the primary source of information for parents and children alike.

Mr D Hewitson - Headteacher

Mrs. Karen Woolcock

It is with great sadness this week that we learned of the death of our friend and colleague, Mrs Karen Woolcock. Mrs Woolcock had been seriously ill for the past 14 months, but we were hopeful she might recover and rejoin the Barley Mow family that meant so much to her. Mrs Woolcock joined our school in June 1997 and spent most of her years here working with and supporting our children in Nursery and Key Stage 1 classes. Our thoughts are with her husband Ian and her daughters Lauren and Holly. She will be greatly missed by everyone in the Barley Mow Family who knew her and cared about her.

SCHOOL MEALS PRICE INCREASE

We have been informed that school meals will be increasing in price after Easter. The daily price for a pupil’s meal will rise by 5p a day to £1.95, which means a full week of meals will cost £9.75. If you are entitled to apply for free school meals for your child/children, please do so. If you think you may be entitled to school meals, but are not claiming that entitlement, please contact 0191-4333729 for more information. Even if you are entitled to free school meals and choose not to accept them, our school will benefit from additional funding from other sources, which can then be spent on YOUR child’s education.
