in brief
- TIMINGS
Thank you for making our new routines for dropping off and collection safe. Timings must be staggered in order to control the number of children and adults on site at the same time.

- KEY WORKER CHILDREN
We have now reached capacity in the Y2, Y3, Y4, & Y5 hubs for key worker children; the Government guidance is that schools are not permitted to exceed 15 children per class. We regret that we will not be able to offer any more places for key worker children in those year groups as we have reached the safe limit.
- UNIFORM
As children are currently wearing non-uniform please ensure they come to school in appropriate clothing for workouts and dance sessions as well as sensible shoes.
- HOME LEARNING PACKS
Home Learning Packs are available for collection from the School Office if you child has not returned to school.
- LIBRARY BOOKS
Please return your school library books – there is a box outside the School Office for those children who are not in school. For children at school, there will be boxes in each hub for library books to be returned to.
We really appreciate the challenges faced in these unprecedented times and we shall continue to keep you updated with any information as this becomes available. At this time, we cannot predict what September brings.... we are reliant on the decision-making of the Government to determine when children are allowed back to school safely.
We miss you all and really want to see our school family again as soon as we possibly can.

Reception and Nursery Classes - September 2020
We would like to update you in relation to what we are doing here at Barry Primary School for our September 2020 intake. During these unprecedented times we are not able to offer our normal transition events therefore we would like to share a short video of our Reception setting and Nursery setting whilst this may not be the usual transition process, we would really like to welcome you to our school community and look forward to meeting you.

Welcome to Barry Primary School
Mr Will Brooks, Headteacher
It is my privilege as Headteacher to extend a warm welcome to the Barry Primary website and thank you for visiting. Our school not only strives for high academic standards for children, but we also have the ambition for everyone that is part of our school to achieve their fullest potential in a far broader sense, celebrating creativity, individuality, integrity and diversity.
We are proud of having a long history of putting children at the heart of everything we do and of the close-knit, supportive “family-feel” that visitors to our school always comment on; it is this CARE that forms an integral part of our school vision and values.
Our dedicated staff team, our wonderful children and the excellent relationships that exist between all members of the school community have helped us to achieve our Good status. This website aims to celebrate the broad range of opportunities and achievements at our school, as well as further contributing to the partnership that exists within our lovely learning community.
We hope that you enjoy the site and are as proud of our children’s achievements as we are.
