A Message from The Headmaster

As (Acting) Headmaster of Barfield School, I welcome you to our website.

I am delighted to be the Headmaster of this outstanding Independent Preparatory School. We take great pride in everything which we offer to our pupils and we strive to provide them with a wide curriculum, combining exciting and enjoyable experiences with a high standard of education.

We give our pupils the academic, sporting and cultural opportunities to ensure that they have an excellent start in life and the rounded education which we are proud to offer, enables them to further their studies at prestigious senior schools of their choosing. They leave us with the independence, enthusiasm and enquiring minds required for their futures.

This website can give you an insight into life at Barfield, but it is only through visiting us that you will be able to gain a true sense of the unique atmosphere which makes us such a happy and successful community.

I hope that you will enjoy browsing through our website. However, I also extend an invitation to you to come and visit the school and I welcome the opportunity to show you round Barfield in the near future.

Please feel free to contact me on 01252 782271

Yours sincerely,



James Reid B. Ed. (Hons), Headmaster
