The staff and Governors value our Christian foundation and you will see this reflected in the high quality of care that we offer to all our children, the high expectations we have of their work and behaviour, and in the variety of opportunity we offer through our enriched curriculum.
We are an inclusive school where all members of our school family are valued as individuals and for the contribution they make to our high academic standards and pastoral care. I believe that the teachers are doing everything that we can possibly want for our child. We can't thank them enough. It's a lovely school and the team really care about the children.
The values are great. St Barnabas' CE Primary School & Nursery, St Barnabas Street, Pimlico, London, SW1W 8PF
