  • Year 1 visit Clitheroe Mosque

    Published 06/03/26

    Year 1 had a fantastic visit to Clitheroe Mosque! The children learnt lots about how Muslims prepare for prayer by washing and cleaning in a special room, discovered which direction Muslims face when praying towards Mecca and found out about the five daily prayers. They were also excited to share their knowledge of the Mihrab, something they had already been learning about in class. A big thank you to everyone at Clitheroe Mosque for making us feel so welcome.

  • Investing in Our Staff

    Published 06/03/26

    At Barrow URC Primary School, we believe it is really important to continually upskill our staff so we can provide the very best learning experiences for our children.

    Recently, we have been accessing training through The Local School Nature Grants Programme, helping us to develop our knowledge and confidence in gardening with children 🌼🌿. It has been a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills and ideas for outdoor learning.

    We can’t wait to bring what we’ve learned back into school and share these exciting experiences with our children as we continue to grow our love of nature together! 🌻🌍✨
