Welcome to Barrow Island Community Primary School! We believe that every child deserves the best education and we have the highest expectations for every child who attends our school. Our aim is for them to ‘be the best they can be’ and reach their full potential. We aim to do this by giving them the education that they need today and setting them up with every chance to succeed tomorrow.

We strive to make learning engaging and provide as many ‘real-life’ learning experiences as possible – making learning exciting, interesting and purposeful.  Reading is the foundation of our curriculum, and we positively promote reading for pleasure as an essential, life-enhancing skill, asking our families to support us with this at home. We want all children to become confident and independent learners with enquiring minds. At Barrow Island Community Primary School, learning does not stop at the end of the school day; our children are encouraged to extend their interests through the wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities on offer. We offer residential experiences for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6, and have strong links with Water Park Adventure Centre near Coniston. We truly believe that learning goes beyond the curriculum!  

We believe that children should be encouraged to develop positive values towards themselves, each other, and the wider community to which they belong. We work together to create a school where positive behaviour is the norm, and all are treated with respect, understanding and sensitivity. 

We are exceptionally proud to serve our local community and pride ourselves on the home-school relationships we create.  We acknowledge the importance of our families to the success of our children.  We therefore warmly welcome our parents to attend our many, varied school experiences, from celebrating successes to participating in school shows and fundraisers.

Our website shows an introduction to the educational experiences we offer children at Barrow Island Community Primary School.

We would therefore like to extend a warm invitation to both you and your children to visit our school and see us learning together first hand.
I look forward to welcoming you to our school. 

Kindest regards,

Miss V. Evans
