Set within a beautiful woodland environment, we provide space for free thinking, growth, achievement, and wellbeing. For over 75 years, we have fostered a culture where every child feels happy, nurtured, and valued.
We believe in laying a strong foundation for a lifelong love of learning through our ambitious curriculum.
In our small, dynamic classes, we create tailored academic challenges, ensuring that every child feels supported and inspired. An exceptional co-curricular program adds depth, enrichment, and joy to their educational journey.
The best way to feel what life is like at Barrow Hills is to join us at an Open Morning. We warmly invite you to experience the magic of our school where our children flourish academically, socially and emotionally. A great opportunity to talk to our children and teachers about what makes our school such a special place.

Grandparents` Afternoon on Thursday was perhaps the most heartwarming way to finish off the first installment of the spring term. It was wonderful to welcome so many family members or friends for a performance by the Pre-Prep children, before they showed their visitors their classrooms and beautiful work, and introduced their teachers too!
The children certainly did bring us all sunshine... thank you to everyone that joined us in making such magical moments.

Our Year 1 children enjoyed a ‘Castle’ Dress up Day this week and looked incredible in a marvellous array of costumes!
We had knights, a King, princesses, two dragons and even a castle!
The children learnt a dance, made castle pictures using 2D shapes and decorated their own crowns, but the highlight of the day was the banquet lunch!

🌟These Girls Can… & Do! 🌟
Our girls once again triumphed in sports at a regional level, defeating far larger schools at the Bryanston Tournament last week. How?
+ We are generous with curriculum time and maintain perspective on what truly matters.
+ We set really ambitious standards of attainment for all.
+ We consistently emphasise `soft skills,` such as collaboration, to nurture team players across all subjects.
Committed, dedicated to their team and incredibly enthusiastic. These girls can… and do!
