Welcome to Barnfield Primary School – A message from Mrs Goodwin
Welcome to Barnfield School
At Barnfield, we believe every child and every member of staff has the potential to shine. Our school is a place where we encourage everyone to be the very best they can be, every single day.
🌟 Respectful • Responsible • Ready to Learn 🌟
These three simple but powerful aims guide everything we do at Barnfield. They shape our expectations, our relationships, and the way we learn together as a community.
We are passionate about helping our pupils reach their full potential. Our dedicated staff provide inspiring and ambitious learning opportunities that challenge, motivate and support each child on their journey.
From the very beginning, our children are encouraged to dream big and to grow into confident, resilient young people with strong character. Through our focus on Ambitious Me, we help our pupils to set high aspirations, work hard towards their goals, and see the purpose in their learning.
Our curriculum is built around five key qualities we want every Barnfield child to develop:
- Ambitious Me
- Creative Me
- Curious Me
- Empathetic Me
- Healthy Me
These qualities, together with our aims of being respectful, responsible and ready to learn, underpin everything we do, helping our pupils become confident, well-rounded individuals, prepared for the next stage of their lives.
We believe that learning should be challenging – and that mistakes are a vital part of progress. By nurturing resilience and a growth mindset, we equip our pupils to embrace challenges with confidence.
Barnfield is proud to be a diverse and inclusive community. We celebrate the individuality of every child and family, using shared values as our common language. Relationships are at the heart of our school: we want every child to feel safe, happy, inspired and supported.
We are proud of our school, our community, and the incredible children we work with every day. Whether you are a prospective pupil, parent, or member of staff, we would love to show you what makes Barnfield so special. Please contact our school office to arrange a visit.
I look forward to meeting you.
