The Arts
Our daughter loves school and the fact that the classes are small so she can really get the attention she needs and deserves! Every child needs a school like Barnard Castle!

Music, Drama and Art are all stimulating elements and play an important role in the life of Prep School.
In addition to timetabled lessons, taught by specialist teachers in specialist rooms, there are opportunities for the children to join in extra curriculum activities, flourishing in a non academic environment.
With access to our Senior School’s excellent Music School, the Auditorium with professional sound and lighting, a recently built hall and a new purpose built Art room, our facilities are second to none!
The children develop an enjoyment and understanding of the subjects through active involvement. This may be an individual music lesson or part of a choir or orchestra, taking a leading role on stage or just performing as part of a large cast. We believe there is something for everyone.
