Welcome to Barnfields Primary School, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about our school community.

The seven years your child spends at Barnfields are among the most important of their educational journey. During this time, children develop strong foundations for lifelong learning, alongside the skills, confidence and resilience needed for future success.

At Barnfields, we place great value on positive relationships. Our dedicated staff work closely with families to ensure every child feels safe, supported and encouraged to achieve their very best. We nurture each child academically, socially and emotionally, helping them grow in confidence, curiosity and independence.

We are immensely proud of our pupils and the high standards they set for themselves. Guided by our school values of Respect, Resilience, Responsibility, Reflection and Positivity, children are motivated learners who ask thoughtful questions, embrace challenge and take pride in their achievements.

Our bespoke, knowledge-engaged curriculum recognises that knowledge and skills are the core components of learning. Designed with great care to reflect the school’s unique context and the needs of its pupils, it ensures all children are supported and challenged to achieve their full potential.

Barnfields is a Silver Rights Respecting School, where children’s rights are embedded in daily practice and upheld across the school community. This approach positively influences pupils’ wellbeing, engagement, relationships and self-worth, ensuring every child feels valued, heard and respected.

We believe children thrive when school and home work in strong partnership. Family learning is central to life at Barnfields, and we actively create opportunities for parents and carers to engage in their child’s learning through workshops, events and shared experiences. These opportunities strengthen relationships, promote inclusion and wellbeing and reinforce the importance of learning across our community.

We further enrich pupils’ experiences through a range of opportunities, including pupil leadership roles, which develop confidence, independence and responsibility.

Barnfields is a happy, inclusive and high-achieving school where potential is recognised and celebrated. Together, we enable children to truly Believe and Achieve.
