Barfield is a co–educational Preparatory School for children aged 2 to 11 in Farnham, Surrey.
We aim to give our children a complete educational experience, with outstanding academic teaching in an excellent pastoral setting, and to prepare them fully for the senior school of their choice. Our central belief is that our children should be happy and positively challenged in what they do, and they will achieve to very high levels.
Barfield has received national recognition for its commitment to taking learning outside the classroom (LOtC) the highest award of its kind.
- 1.5 million potentially life-changing trips away from the classroom have been cancelled - Barfield School is gifting 10 outdoor adventure sessions in a bid to rescue lost school trips - 350 students to be given the opportunity to attend a team building programme
It has been so lovely to be able to open our doors for a few year groups and see their happy faces around school. We had a successful first week and can't wait for week 2!
We were so pleased to open our doors again for Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 pupils today. Welcome Back!
Year 2 have been creative with their humanities projects from home. Well done to all Barfield pupils who have embraced their online learning! Please go to our Facebook page for more examples of their amazing work...
Much excitement as our pupils are starting to use our brand new state of the art #Science lab that lends itself to various ways of learning. This specialist teaching area allows for excellent practical experimentation, demonstrations and projects. #SchoolBuildingDevelopment https://t.co/PgamWCgUpo

Huge congratulations to a past pupil of ours, Alex S who has recently been selected to be part of the Harlequins Women centre of Excellence this season. Alex was the first girl to obtain her Barfield Rugby colours. This is fully deserved after her dedication and hard work Alex has put in from a young age to the sport!
'Cup Cake club' has been quite a hit as you can imagine! Each week the children get to try out different designs from ladybirds to bears and butterflies. As well as being lots of fun and allowing children to 'get creative' it helps with fine motor skills.
Our pupils love coming to the library to choose books and talk about their favourite authors with their friends. We have recently upgraded our library Management system which means we can keep a better check on what stock we have in the library, and ensure that it is kept current and meets the needs of our children.
All our pupils from Reception to Year 6 have regular adventure lessons enjoying our fantastic outdoor adventure facilities. They have the opportunity to experience adventure activities starting with the obstacle course and then they move on to low ropes, base building, green cross code, country code, problem solving/command tasks, aero ball, blind trail to name but a few. Our pupils love it! The older years have different learning experiences from map reading to first aid.
Mrs Gibling who works in our Reception year, has smashed her first ever #Londonmarathon yesterday (virtually), raising money for the very worthy cause of Headway Surrey The children at Barfield have loved hearing about her marathon journey and how she has trained for the event with many having watched the marathon yesterday.

Much excitement as our pupils are starting to use our brand new state of the art Science laboratory that lends itself to various ways of learning. This specialist teaching area allows for excellent practical experimentation, demonstrations and projects. The children are going to enjoy the variety of hands-on learning coupled with debate and discussion about the theories under investigation. #ScienceLab #SchoolBuildingDevelopment #PrepSchool #BarfieldPrep #Microscopes #stemlearning
This week we are celebrating the vast array of languages spoken worldwide and every year group is working on a song in French. From 'pirouette, cacahuète', through to 'un monde parfait' to 'je voudrais un bonhomme de neige' from Frozen, all the pupils are enjoying exploring the cultural differences and new vocabulary within the songs. #BarfieldFrench #BarfieldPrep #Frenchlessons #EuropeanDayOfLanguages #learninglanguages #europeandayoflanguages2021
