Barrow Hills is a lively and aspirational independent Prep school and Nursery welcoming girls and boys aged 2 to 13 years.

Expectations are high for all, and through individualised challenge and support, each child is empowered to flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.

We enjoy an enviable reputation for the academic progress of our children, who achieve excellent results in formal exams. From the Early Years, we deploy specialist teachers to incorporate the very best of academic and creative practice, igniting passion and curiosity in learning.

We help our children discover the power of collaboration and being part of a team. They join one of three ‘Houses’ to build confidence, develop a strong sense of community, and cultivate empathy. They learn to lead and to be ambitious—not only for themselves but also for others.

Our pupils progress to a diverse range of senior schools at 11+ or 13+, with many securing scholarships in academics, sport, drama, music, and the arts. As important, they leave us not only well-prepared for their future but also with friendships that will last a lifetime.
