Thank you to our parents/carers who completed the Autumn Term questionnaire and we would encourage you to complete this Spring questionnaire which will help us to track the parent view across all our settings. If you haven't got involved yet or are a new parent within the Trust then please also complete the survey. The results of the survey have been, and will continue to be, shared with Academy Heads and the Trust Board on a school by school basis and in time the cycle of surveys will provide us with a snap shot of where parents are and allow us to develop plans to respond to any emerging issues. We would very much like to encourage you to complete the Spring Term survey by copying and pasting the following link: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=FfCPk_-4V0G5AXwg-Atdjgh3Xqz1vQBDvMbVmAgLeQpUMlA1UlozMEhWUjBGM0pMVlRGN1Y2NlZOQi4u&route=shorturl Please complete the survey by Monday 2nd February 2026 Thank you!

Mr Lea will be hosting his third Learn More session on Wednesday 28th January - we hope you can join him!

Every day at school counts. The evidence is clear - even a few days of missed school can have a significant impact on a child's education and future prospects. We are always striving to improve attendance at Barnby & North Cove Primary School!

For the next fortnight we are focusing on the Learning Characteristic of Participation. We are encouraging all of our pupils to give maximum effort in all of their lessons and fully engage with all activities. This will be really important as we re-introduce competitive sport back to Barnby and North Cove.


At the end of the Autumn term we hosted our very first Violin Concert for our Key Stage 2 pupils at the end of term - IT WAS SIMPLY AMAZING! Another packed audience were witness to a fantastic performance from our pupils. We are all very proud of them!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas filled with family, friends, love and laughter. From all the staff at Barnby & North Cove Primary School.

We hosted our Christmas Dinner on Wednesday 17th December. Pupils were served by teachers and enjoyed a festive feast!
