Our Events

Every year we hold a Winter Fair, Summer BBQ, breakfast for our year 6 students writing exams, a few popcorn nights and an annual charity drive. We love new ideas for events: we have supported parents to run a Japanese cooking class, an astronomy night, a talk on applying to secondary school, and more. Let us know what your idea is and we will help you make it happen.

We also love being green, so please let us know your ideas on how to make our events and the school more environmentally friendly.

Summer Open Evening 2022

The theme of our event was a continuation of the personal timeline exhibition ‘Time, People, Place’ ie a coming together of all families in our community after lockdown. This was echoed by the special additional exhibition ‘Barrow Hill in Lockdown’, which shared photos from our newsletters which helped us all connect during COVID times.

We had a wonderfully attended event and great weather to boot, we also raised over a £1100 for the school.

The Lord Mayor of Westminster Lord Mayor Hamza Taouzzale, Councillor Paul Swaddle, and Councillor Ralu Oteh-Osoka were in attendance as seen in the photo, who were received and taken on a tour of the school by headmaster David Tomlinson.

Children steal the show

The event was a celebration of the school’s community with music recitals provided by the guitar and flute music groups. Parents had a chance to view the children’s art work, talk to teachers and read the pupil's individual reports. Barrow Hill Junior school’s 2022 SATS results were higher than the National average, as a result of the excellent teaching provision.

Lots of lovely food and drink was had by over 500 attendants, some of which was donated from local restaurants.

SATs Breakfasts 2019

Our Year 6 Students wrote their SATS exams from 13-16 May 2019. To start them off right, we the parents prepared breakfast for them every morning. A great big thank you to our local Tesco in St. John's Wood for providing all the fruit, cereals, milk, juice, and more, and to Gail's for their lovely breads. Thank you all the parents who set their alarms early, and to our student volunteers who pitched in to support their year 6 friends, who worked very hard over many months to prepare. Well done everyone.

Winter Fair 2018

Frightful Weather, but a Delightful Fair

The weather may have done its worst, but we had the best Winter Fair. Our BBQ staff outside were the heroes of the day--braving the elements to serve up the best hamburgers and hot dogs. All the cold and rain did do some good: our Mulled Wine and Apple Cider stall did better than ever. Thanks to our Japanese parents for all the yummy sushi and the calligraphy and crafts: you put smiles on lots of faces and bellies. Thanks to everyone who cooked and baked, and served food and drinks: the Barrow Hill family is a big one to feed!

There was lots for sale, curated with care by our bric-a-brac staff (please don't leave us!). There was lots of excitement about our Silent Auction, which did better than last year. Thanks to our amazing student staff for running our slime workshop, pocket money and jam jar stalls, and selling drinks. We had again an amazing hair and face-painting salon, and a photo booth to capture all those great new looks. Thanks to Santa and all his elves for making the trip down from the North Pole. Yet again, we had the best Santa's Grotto in the city. And most importantly, a big thank you to all our parents, teachers, students and staff.

Our First Green Fair!

We had a couple of firsts this year: we used a card reader to take card payments (yeah technology!), and this was the first Winter Fair where we recycled all those empty plates and juice boxes. A big pat on the back to everyone who used our new recycle bins.

Popcorn Night

Our First Green Popcorn Night

On 12 November we had our first popcorn night where we recycled everything! Thanks to Hugo in 5A for writing to Innocent to ask for a donation of healthy drinks in a fully recyclable package. And thanks to everyone who attended, who were all super-conscientious about putting empty paper bags, cans and juice boxes in recycling bags.

A special thanks to Innocent, who generously donated 100 of their Bubbles drinks, and to Tesco for a pile more juices. And thanks to all the parents who volunteered to pop all that popcorn, and help make the night run smoothly.
