Barr's Hill

Barr’s Hill School, founded in 1908 as a grammar school, maintains high expectations and a rigorous academic curriculum.

Our main goal is to help students Build Brighter Futures through quality education and exceptional experiences over their Seven Year Journey with us.

We consistently achieve outstanding exam results and rank among the top schools nationally for pupil progress. Yet, school life offers much more than exams…

As a smaller school, we prioritise knowing our students and ensuring they feel happy and supported. Their journey starts in ‘The Bridge’, a specially designed area with social and teaching spaces. Here, Year 7 experts provide high academic standards, including Latin and Classics, with personalised timetables and small group lessons for rapid progress. Learn more about the Bridge here.

We focus on whole-child development through our extensive, free enrichment programme. This includes Sport, Performance, Academic, and Service opportunities, keeping students engaged during breaks, lunchtimes, and after school.

Our passionate staff ensure success at every stage, culminating in Post-16 Select, our popular sixth form. Last year, 97% of Post-16 students progressed to university, with the rest entering top apprenticeships. Over a quarter went to prestigious Russell Group Universities, including Oxford, Warwick, and King’s College London.

We hope our school website provides you with some useful information about our school.
