Head’s WelcomeBarrow Hills is a lively, warm and aspirational school.

Our idyllic woodland setting and a broad range of academic, co-curricular and social opportunities affords every child space to play, explore, feel connected and grow.

Children flourish here – academically, socially and emotionally. We balance the rigour of broad and deep academic outcomes with a really supportive system of pastoral care. Every child is known and understood as an individual.

The Barrow Hills culture embodies curiosity, compassion, and confidence. We embrace critical thinking and challenge. We ensure our children enjoy the opportunity to become young leaders and to develop civic values. Our outcomes speak for themselves; “pupils are very successful within the formal curriculum and beyond ” and “social development is of the highest quality.” (ISI Inspection Report 2022).

In 2024, our leavers attained 24 senior school scholarships and awards, alongside a 100% exam pass rate at 11+ or 13+, with 46% at A grade and above.

Our children really are our greatest ambassadors. I warmly invite you to visit our School and experience first-hand what makes Barrow Hills, its children and its staff so special. Open Mornings and Personal Tours are hosted throughout the year.

I greatly look forward to welcoming you to Barrow Hills.
