“Lady Barn House School is a vibrant community in which extremely well motivated pupils achieve high academic and personal standards. Throughout the school, very good teaching challenges pupils successfully to aim for the best in every area.”

ISI Inspection Report 2005

Lady Barn House School is a co-educational, independent primary school for pupils aged 3- 11 years. It was founded in 1873 by William Henry Herford, B.A., a pioneer in child education.

A family orientated school which promotes Christian values, Lady Barn seeks to encourage academic and social self-discipline as a sure foundation for each pupil's well being. Every effort is made to assist each child to realise his or her academic potential through a broadly based cultural education complemented by a wide variety of sports and extra-curricular activities.

The School firmly believes in the importance of the individual child’s place within the school community. Each pupil is encouraged to work in harmony with others and to accept responsibilities where appropriate. The acquisition of such social skills is a fitting accompaniment to the academic accomplishments which should enable the child to enter secondary school with self assurance and poise.
