Pre-Prep

We have wholeheartedly recommended Barney School to our friends. My wife and I also enjoy the developing social scene for parents and look forward to a long and developing association with the school.
Prof. Ian Greaves

"The personal development of pupils is excellent; from the earliest age pupils are self-confident and fulfilled members of the school community."
(Independent Schools Inspectorate 2011)

At Barnard Castle, starting school is an exciting time as we ensure all children receive enjoyable and fun experiences as they begin their exciting learning journey in a safe and friendly environment. With access to the excellent facilities in and around the school campus and using our enviable position in the North East, children are able to enhance their education.

The children are offered rich and exhilarating experiences to ensure that their learning is purposeful and meaningful to each individual. Creative curriculums in each of the Pre-Prep classes allow children to be engaged and become independent learners and thinkers. All children develop positive attitudes towards their work and are able to grow in confidence and self-esteem.

Small class sizes allow the teachers to give the best education to every child from those needing a little extra help to those who demonstrate tremendous talents that need to be nurtured.

The Pre-Prep department ensures a memorable and exciting beginning to your child's education.
