Head’s Welcome

Barrow Hills is renowned for its family atmosphere and happy children. Our outcomes speak for themselves, with “very successful students within the formal curriculum and beyond”. The child’s own journey towards this accomplishment is vital, with “pupils’ social development of the highest quality” (Inspectorate 2022). These courteous, sociable and responsible children are at the heart of all that we do; we pride ourselves in valuing every child with skilled educators and individual attention. It’s a very warm, aspirational, and grounded community. We ‘prepare for greater things’ at 11+ or 13+. With 24 senior school scholarships and awards in 2024, and a 100% exam pass rate with 46% at A grade and above, we are all set for the future.

Our Barrow Hills family also has the unique advantage of governance by the Bridewell Royal Hospital Foundation and close affiliation with our partner school, Kings Edward’s Witley. We benefit from centuries of charitable history, links to the City of London and the generous shared resource an independent senior school provides.
