Because I fell in love with the school when I came to visit! My personal leadership experience was on the pastoral side of education and when considering the step into Headship I knew that I was looking for a school that understood and prioritised the importance of a child’s happiness and the positive impact this can have on their school journey. One visit to Barfield Prep School and I knew that I was joining a wonderful family and a school that shared my educational values.
Originally from Yorkshire, I had the pleasure of attending Ashville College and I loved every minute of that experience. My early aspirations were to become a professional rugby player but this dream was unfortunately cut short due to a serious injury just after leaving school. With teaching in my family, I embarked on my journey towards being a Prep School Teacher and have never looked back. I enjoyed my first year teaching back at Ashville College, before moving to Oxford where I was a Year 3 Teacher at Chandlings School. 10 years later I left Chandlings for Barfield Prep School after enjoying a number of different roles, most notably as Deputy Head for 6 years.
Breadth and balance are two words which we fully subscribe to here at Barfield Prep School and our bespoke curriculum and opportunities sets us apart from the rest. In addition to the more traditional learning opportunities that you would expect to see in a Prep School, a Barfield education includes Life Skills, Outdoor Learning and Current Affairs – all centered around our priority of creating an environment where every single child loves coming to school and feels supported on their journey.
