Old Barnardians

We are so lucky to have such a strong ‘Barney Community’ and this is an exciting time of growth. Our aim is to keep the Barney network of alumni, current and former parents, current and former staff and the wider family connected to the School and each other…for the mutual benefit of all. We encourage our former students to join over 5,000 Old Barnardians in our global network living in more than 40 countries worldwide. The network not only supports recent leavers as they progress to university and in the first steps of a career, but also facilitates connections for older OBs who may be seeking new opportunities, ways to engage in a variety of social occasions or simply a route to get back in touch with friends from their school days.

A transformed calendar of regular events will soon be available, including regional and international socials and dinners, networking get-togethers, and the regular reunion events all delivered with the Barney Welcome you know and love!

OBs are, of course, also welcome to attend all open events on the school calendar. The School’s Development Office and Old Barnardians’ Club collaborate on events and initiatives to benefit the community and help support the future development of the school.

We have launched a new community website, especially for our Barnardians, offering you the opportunity to share your news, register and purchase tickets for our fantastic events, offer to be a speaker in careers for our current students and mentoring for our Old Barnardians and much more. Please update your contact details, share your news or ask any questions on society@barneyschool.org.uk.

“What a lovely atmosphere, so much was different but at the same time the school felt as it was.” Jim Farley, OB 1954
