OUR SCHOOL
Our school is unique in
Stevenage, located on two adjacent sites, Barnwell Middle and Upper Campus
provides the best of both worlds, the advantage of two small sites that
provides 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
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
the 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, 8 and 9). At the end of
Year 9 students transfer to the Upper school campus for key stage 4 (Years 10
and 11) and sixth form (Years 12 and 13).
On starting
school in Year 7 students join one of three colleges (Ennis, Hoy and Redgrave).
Having three colleges allows for a very individual and personalised learning experience.
Each
college also has a Head of college who, together with form tutors, provides
excellent pastoral care. There is a very healthy competition between the
colleges with the college cup being fiercely contended each year.
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.
Key stage
3 progress is monitored in all subjects throughout the academic year. If we
identify early signs of students underachieving, we are able to quickly put
targeted intervention into place to ensure that the students close their skills
gaps. All students have a clear awareness of their progress goals and what they
need to do to achieve them.
When students
move to the Upper school for their KS4 education, they retain their college
identity but are amalgamated into year groups. Again, each year group receives
excellent pastoral care via their Head of Year and form tutors.
Our sixth
form is a thriving part of our school community. We are able to offer an
extensive range of subjects at both Level 2 and Level 3. If a student wishes to
study a course or combination that we are unable to offer, we provide maximum
opportunities for our students through our sixth form consortium, which allows
the students to study one of their subjects at another centre in Stevenage.
