It's official! Our new Dining Hall is open

On Monday 22nd April, we officially opened a brand new Dining Hall with a visit from the Mayor of Farnham, Cllr Alan Earwalker.

Our new building is a sustainably designed facility that promises to connect our pupils to the natural environment and inspire them while they learn. 

We enlisted the help of award-winning TG Escapes to design and build the new facilities. Headmaster Andy Boyle said: "Since I joined Barfield, the need for a dedicated dining hall has been something I have wanted to address. For over 50 years, the sports hall doubled up as a place to eat; it was a noisy, chaotic, impractical space with high windows and no views. Thanks to TG Escapes we now have a beautifully designed eco-friendly functional building for everyone at the school to enjoy and benefit from.  I cannot speak highly enough about how professional their team has been. Having had other developments done recently, we were expecting significant disruption to our school day but they have managed to go quietly about their business without impacting on us at all."

The dining hall will also host our Upper School pupils for their after-school Prep sessions, prep snacks, and match teas after sports fixtures.
