Barnard Castle school is an inclusive community that is committed to promoting the wellbeing of all students by supporting them to be physically and mentally healthy, able to cope with life’s challenges in a positive and constructive way.
Our staff support each pupil’s wellbeing, ensuring they feel safe, heard, and empowered to thrive in all aspects of school life.
The School empowers pupils to engage in school activities appropriate to their ability and any medical conditions. To provide excellent pastoral support to students, the School has a new Wellbeing Centre which contains both a medical centre with two full-time nurses and a counselling service.
The centre, featuring treatment, recovery and counselling rooms, is close to senior and prep schools, boarding houses and the playing fields. It is being resourced throughout the week and on Saturdays for pupils and visitors attending fixtures.
The facility is the latest addition to pastoral care at Barnard Castle School, which strives to maintain its students’ physical and mental health and wellbeing, ensuring they all feel happy, safe, secure, fulfilled and rewarded in their learning.
