Sport
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.

Healthy body, healthy mind.
Sport and physical development are an important part of school life. In addition to the timetabled PE, Swimming and Games lessons there are many opportunities for the children to participate in a variety of sports through our activity programme. The children are taught and coached by qualified teachers and we also use professional coaches where appropriate to further their development.
PE lessons teach and develop games and ball skills while Games lessons concentrate on our major team sports. For the boys this is rugby, soccer, cricket and athletics. The girls play hockey, netball, rounders and athletics.
We produce school teams at different age groups to compete successfully against other schools in the North-East in these sports.
