Barnard Castle School

办学特色：—

学校简介：‘Barney’, as we are affectionately known, is a remarkable place to live, learn and grow. Our greatest strength is the ability to create an incredibly supportive and welcoming environment which allows each and every pupil to flourish. At the heart of Barney’s family is our boarding community, where students excel academically whilst also enjoying a wide range of co-curricular activities which help them develop happy, well-rounded characters. Pupils here will find subjects being taught by inspirational teachers as well as strong pastoral care from our boarding staff and tutors. However, it is the life skills that children acquire that set Barney apart. The emphasis on building self-awareness, compassion, collaboration, leadership, resilience and courtesy through a wide range of activities including sport, music, art and drama enables them to express themselves and realise their true potential. Situated on the edge of the beautiful small town of Barnard Castle in the North of England, Barney is easily accessible by rail, car and air and is known for its warm welcome and its unpretentious atmosphere where everyone feels valued and involved in this busy, vibrant extended family that is Barney.
