About Barnwell School

Barnwell School
Respect Responsibility Aspiration

OUR SCHOOL
Our school is unique in Stevenage, located on two adjacent sites. Barnwell Middle and Upper Campus provide the best of both worlds - the advantage of two small sites that provide students with age-appropriate facilities and room to develop and grow, along with the resources and opportunities that come with a larger school. The learning environment ensures that our students achieve and reach their academic potential whilst enjoying their studies.
The school promotes a ‘can do’ culture and through our ‘Character Education’ students are encouraged to challenge themselves and aspire to be the best they can be. Our progressive and broad curriculum places emphasis on challenging students to build skills and knowledge for a successful career in the future.
We also place great emphasis on the importance of our students taking part in the school’s co-curricular activities to develop qualities and skills that are valued in the workplace and community.
We very much look forward to welcoming you to Barnwell, to experience, for yourself, the positive atmosphere and outstanding opportunities it offers our students.

SCHOOL STRUCTURE
The Middle school campus is home to key stage 3 students (Years 7 and 8). At the end of Year 8, students transfer to the Upper school campus for key stage 4 (Years 9, 10 and 11) and sixth form (Years 12 and 13).
Upon starting school, in Year 7, students join one of our form groups. Heads of year quickly get to know every child. Form Tutors provide daily support and are there to ensure that students are settled and making good progress.
The school is organised, academically, into curriculum facilities, each of which has a Head of faculty who is responsible for the quality of provision and student progress.
Progress is monitored in all subjects throughout the academic year. If we identify early signs of students underachieving, we quickly put targeted intervention into place to ensure that students close their skills gaps. All students have an awareness of their progress goals and what is required to achieve them.
Our sixth form is a thriving part of our school community. We offer an extensive range of subjects. If a student wishes to study a course or qualification combination that we are unable to offer, we maximise opportunities for students through our sixth form consortium, which enables the student to study one of their subjects at another centre in Stevenage.
