Barnard Castle School
Barnard Castle School is a leading independent school set amid stunning countryside in Northern England.
'Barney’, as it is affectionately known, provides an exceptional all-round education, with a broad and balanced curriculum, first class facilities and excellent pastoral care within a happy, family environment for boys and girls aged between 4 and 18.
We place enormous emphasis on ensuring everyone feels a sense of belonging at Barney; only then will they come close to maximising their potential.
Through creating an inspirational, compassionate and unpretentious environment, the School develops young adults with character, where each child is nurtured and encouraged to develop their full potential. ‘Barnardians’ are happy, confident, resilient, intellectually curious, tolerant and driven, with an undercurrent of humility, who are ready and prepared to face, embrace and lead in an ever-changing world.
