Raising the Barfield

At Barfield Prep School, we don’t just raise expectations – we Raise the Barfield. It’s our way of nurturing happy, well-rounded, high-achieving children who thrive in every sense. 

At Barfield Prep School, we raise expectations and confidence. With small classes, inspiring teaching, and a love of learning indoors and out, every child thrives. 

How do we “Raise the Barfield?”

It starts with Balance 

Because education is more than just about exam results. Our commitment to a broad curriculum is second to none and ensures that we are able to stretch and support all our children academically, while never compromising on their happiness and well-being by offering learning in Life Skills, Well-being, Sustainability, the Arts and more. With small class sizes, tailored teaching and incredible staff, bright minds shine.

Then comes Belief

As we know that life is likely to have a road bump or two along the way, supporting the children to believe in themselves is a real focus of ours. Not only belief in themselves, but to build strong, purposeful relationships with those around them – friends, family, teachers and the wider community – always looking to promote positive values and characteristics throughout and finding belief in their personal journey – wherever that might take them!

And finally Boots

Our children spend glorious amounts of time outdoors, allowing them to be children! Wellies, trainers, ballet shoes or football boots, a Barfield Child will likely be found ‘doing’, benefitting from any one of the amazing opportunities that are afforded to them on a daily basis. It is likely to be these moments that the children will remember when they reflect on their time at Barfield Prep School.
