Barnard Castle School provides girls and boys with a safe, happy and nurturing environment in a stunning area of County Durham. Possessing first class facilities with a broad curriculum, an excellent pastoral care provision and wide-ranging co-curricular offering, 'Barney', as it is affectionately known, offers all students the chance to excel both inside and outside the classroom. Boarders and day pupils from the age of 4 to 18 benefit from a strong family atmosphere. The school’s ethos of openness means that it welcomes parents, former pupils and friends of the school to join in and promote a sense of pride, endeavour and tremendous fun.
