Contact with Home

We encourage parents to establish close contact with school to maintain the teacher/parent child link. Our formal methods of communication include:

  • A weekly newsletter to keep parents informed about the children’s experiences in school, awards, events and important dates in the calendar;
  • Two formal parent/teacher meetings during the year;
  • A formal report at the end of each term.
  • Additional meetings with teachers can be arranged at any time to discuss any matters.

For parents interested in meeting socially with other parents, the Prep School Barney Friends meet once a month and organise a range of family events throughout the school year. All parents are welcome to join or contribute ideas at any time.

Prospective families are invited to join our Headmaster, David Cresswell, to discover his ambitious plan for Barnard Castle School.
