Welcome Message

I would like to extend a warm welcome to our current and prospective parents and carers on behalf of all at Northfield School.

Having joined Northfield School in September 2012, teaching English and as a Head of Year, I am proud to be part of our community.

Our aim in Year 7 at Northfield School is to give our pupils a strong sense of community, helping them to develop and grow as individuals, through our Core Values of Respect, Resilience and Honesty.

In addition, pupils choosing to join Northfield School at the end of Key Stage 2 can look forward to the benefits of being taught in a small school within the larger school, supported by dedicated staff and in our state-of-the-art facilities. The Year 7 school ensures a smooth transition from Year 6 to 7 by helping to remove many of the anxieties pupils may feel, when leaving their relatively small primary schools, to join a large secondary school. The contemporary architecture and style of the building allows for a more creative and flexible approach to our curriculum, which has been planned to allow pupils to develop the skills necessary to progress in a modern and rapidly changing world.

We are very proud of our unique ‘School within a School’ and what it allows us to achieve on a daily basis. We would encourage you to visit and see for yourself!

Jayn Barnfather

Head of Year 7
