About Us:

At Barnwell School, we are proud to be a vibrant and inclusive secondary school serving the community of Stevenage and beyond. 

With a clear focus on aspiration, respect, and responsibility, we aim to provide every student with the opportunities, support, and encouragement they need to reach their full potential — both academically and personally.

We are a split-site school, with our Middle School Campus (Years 7 & 8) and Upper School Campus (Years 9-13) offering age-appropriate environments that foster growth, independence, and leadership.

We are committed to:
High academic standards and a broad, balanced curriculum
Excellent pastoral care and safeguarding practices
Strong partnerships with parents, local employers, and post-16 providers
Enriching extracurricular and leadership opportunities
Preparing students for university, apprenticeships, or the world of work

Our Sixth Form offers a wide range of academic and vocational pathways, and we work closely with students to support them into meaningful and successful futures.
