Barnard Castle Senior School
Barnard Castle Senior School is a friendly community, one which looks to reward achievement in every aspect of the pupils’ busy and productive lives.
Academic achievement lies at the heart of what we do.
We expect high standards of discipline and intellectual focus in the classroom, and we track pupil progress against national benchmarks and our own responsive assessment arrangements.
If you are considering a School for your son or daughter we would be delighted to show you round.
