Barrow CEVC Primary School
With high expectations and Christian values at the heart of our ethos, we INSPIRE and value individual, independent learning so that everyone in school is able to be the best that they can be. This idea of thriving comes directly from John 10:10, where Jesus promises that living in community with God and one another brings abundant life to all. Placing children at the centre of everything we do, we CREATE a strong, life-long learning community of staff and children in our warm and welcoming rural environment. A rich, vibrant curriculum ensures that children DISCOVER and develop skills and understanding across a stimulating range of subjects. Time is also given to developing spirituality and character, with a focus on Christian values in the classroom and Collective Worship, which are outworked with the local church and in the community. Our inclusive schoolcommunity celebrates diversity and works TOGETHER with families and the wider community to prepare our children to be positive and active members of society, bringing that ‘full life’ with them into their future contexts.

A school is the first in the county to receive a national award recognising an excellent computing curriculum.Barrow Church of England Voluntary Controlled (CEVC) Primary School, near Bury St Edmunds, has been awarded the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) Computing Quality Mark.The school received the award for ‘excellence in computing curriculum delivery’.
Headteacher Helen Ashe said: “Schools that are able to show good practice in their computing curriculum and procedures can apply for the Computing Quality Mark, which is awarded by STEM Learning on behalf of the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE).“The evidence we submitted was verified by an independent assessor, who confirmed that we demonstrated the required level of attainment.
“We were therefore awarded the NCCE Computing Quality Mark for excellence in computing curriculum delivery having reached the required standard across all the dimensions of the Computing Quality Framework.
“We are delighted that Barrow is the first school in Suffolk to receive this award.”To achieve this award, the school has worked closely with the Suffolk & Colchester Computing Hub, which has supported it with its curriculum development and the Quality Mark application process.
Aquatic exercise is a fun way to focus on fitness in a gravity-reduced environment. The buoyancy of water is easier on the body and provides support for people with weakness, balance problems or pain. Additionally, the viscosity of water slows movement and provides resistance during exercise, making aquatic exercise a great workout.
Our aqua mobility class has been specially designed for older adults. The exercises focus on improving a range of motion, flexibility, balance and strength. The class is taught by our qualified swimming teacher, ensuring you get the very best experience.
If you’re looking for a new way to improve mobility, keep fit and have fun, our water fitness class will put a spring in your step. We look forward to welcoming you to our school pool.
