☀️🌳 These sunny days are the perfect excuse to enjoy a stroll through our amazing Woodland School here at Lady Barn!
Our award-winning on-site Woodland School is a wonderful place to explore in every season. Whether it's making mud angels 🤎, gathering around the campfire 🔥 in winter, or soaking up the summer sunshine 🌞, there's always something new to discover.
More than just an outdoor space, it's a living classroom where children can enjoy welly walks, play in the mud kitchen, build dens, and grow vegetables in our garden. 🌱 Every visit encourages curiosity, creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning through nature. 💙
Every adventure outdoors is a chance to learn, grow, and make lasting memories. 🌳☀️

A huge congratulations to Mr Earnshaw, who has raised an incredible £2,609 for @mftcharity 👏💙
Every year, hundreds of children spend extended periods of time at Manchester Children's Hospital. 🏥 Hospital stays can be challenging and isolating for both young patients and their families. To help make a difference, Mr Earnshaw took on an incredible 50-mile ultramarathon from Manchester to Liverpool, raising funds for the Manchester MediCinema Appeal. 🎬💙
Thanks to Mr Earnshaw's fundraising, alongside the generosity of many other supporters, the new 50-seat, state-of-the-art MediCinema at Manchester Children's Hospital is now officially open! 🎉🍿
Designed to accommodate wheelchairs, hospital beds and medical equipment, the cinema provides a welcoming space where children and their loved ones can relax, escape and experience the magic of the big screen without ever leaving the hospital. ✨🎥
Thank you, Mr Earnshaw, for your outstanding determination, generosity and commitment to such a worthwhile cause. We are incredibly proud of your achievement! 🌟🙌

☀️🎉 What an incredible Summer Fete! 🎉☀️
Our Summer Fete was a huge success and, thanks to the amazing support of our school community, generated £4,057.40 in takings. The proceeds will support both the Beyond Learning Bursary Fund and the Friends of Lady Barn Fundraising Committee. 💙
These fantastic funds will be shared between the Beyond Learning Bursary Fund and the Friends of Lady Barn Fundraising Committee, helping to provide more children with access to a Lady Barn education while supporting exciting new initiatives across our wonderful school. 🌟📚
It was a fantastic day that brought our whole community together. From familiar faces to new ones, it was wonderful to see everyone enjoying the celebrations. 😊
A BIG thank you to everyone who came along – whether you played the games 🎯, tucked into our delicious BBQ 🍔🌭, won fantastic prizes 🎁, or simply joined us for the fun. Your support made the event truly special.
