Barnard Castle School (colloquially Barney School or locally the County School) is a co-educational

bequest of the local industrialist Benjamin Flounders. The ambition was to create a school of the quality of the ancient public schools
at a more reasonable cost, whilst accepting pupils regardless of their faith.

Originally the North Eastern County School, the name was changed in 1924, but is still generally known locally as the "County School". The school is set in its own 50-acre (20 ha) grounds in

direct grant
. Founded as an all-boys school, it has been fully co-educational since 1993. There are around 660 pupils and some 200 members of staff.

Since the 1980s, the school has been one of Britain's most successful at producing top class

Daily Mail Cup. Former pupils in other fields include Edward Mellanby (the discoverer of Vitamin D); industrialist Percy Mills, The Lord Mills; fashion designer Giles Deacon poet Craig Raine; and actor Kevin Whately
.

History

The school can trace its origins to an endowment made by

Quaker industrialist who had helped to fund the Stockton and Darlington Railway. The Flounders trustees financed the entirety of the construction of the school with a donation of £31,000.[10] A further £20,000 was raised by subscription to cover initial running costs, £10,000 of which came from St John's Hospital.[10] The gift from St John's was conditional on the school being situated in Barnard Castle, and this determined its location.[4]

The school's governance was inspired by the county school movement of

Roman Catholicism informed the school's ethos, and the school has always remained independent of the Church of England.[11] Brereton's son became the first headmaster of the school. In contrast to the largely classical education offered by many of the public schools of the time, the school always maintained a focus on scientific and technological education.[12] A strong sporting programme was believed to build character.[12] Extensions over the next few years included a sanatorium in 1890 (now the music school) and a swimming-bath block in 1896. In 1900 a £4,000 (£400,000 in 2010) science block was opened by Lord Barnard with Brooke Foss Westcott, Bishop of Durham in attendance.[9][13]
The building is now inhabited by Tees and Dale houses.

The school name was changed to Barnard Castle School in 1924, and it was by this time one of the largest public schools in the North of England.

Headmaster's Conference, making it an "official" public school. Following the introduction of the Education Act 1944, from 1945 the school became a direct grant grammar school and the number of pupils enrolled at the school increased substantially.[17] In April 1961 a £65,000 (£1.1 million in 2010) appeal was launched for funding to build new science blocks and a library building.[18] By this time there were 470 boys at the school, more than half of whom progressed to universities or higher education.[18] Birkbeck introduced squash to the school, and made it one of the best-known schools for the sport in the country in the 1960s and 1970s. The novelist Will Cohu described the school in 1974 as "a rugged Victorian establishment in a brooding Jacobean-style building overlooking the Tees ... The school was popular with parents who were in the armed forces. It was cheap, did not have any reputation for abuse, and was strong on games".[19] The direct-grant revenue stream was abolished in 1975, making the school reliant upon independent funding. An appeal was launched that year to ensure the school's survival, with £109,000 (£750,000 in 2011) raised within nine months.[20] The school's first computer was installed in January 1978.[21]

Frank Macnamara became headmaster in 1980, described as "an affable enthusiast" in

Sixth Form in 1981, and the school has been fully co-educational since 1993.[24] By 1992 there were around 610 pupils with an approximately 50:50 split between boarding and day pupils.[25] From 1993, as the result of a HMC initiative, Eastern European children were awarded scholarships to study at the school; by 1995, 8 per cent of the school's intake came from overseas.[26] Michael Featherstone, a former England hockey international, was appointed headmaster in 1997, and the school enjoyed considerable academic success during his tenure.[27]

Chapel

The school's chapel was completed in 1911.

Second World War and one who died in the Falklands War.[40][41] There is a roll of honour in the main school building for the former pupils who died in the Second Boer War.[42]

Barnard Castle Preparatory School

The Prep School has access to all of the facilities of the senior school. It is situated in a separate area of the school grounds with its own organisation, staff and buildings. The school is sited around a main building called Westwick Lodge, "a sprawling Victorian villa with the modern dormitories and classroom block hidden at the rear. It [has] a long, sloping front lawn, thickly planted with shrubberies ... Round the back [is] a playground and a muddy hill with a few trees".[19] Members of the Prep School are referred to throughout the school as "Preppies".

The school was founded in 1914 and was originally a girls' school, and independent from the County School.[43] In 1989 there were just 65 pupils, all of them boys. By 2009 there were over 200 pupils, equally split between girls and boys.[44] School on Saturdays was abolished at the Prep School in 1999.

School life

Intake

40 per cent of senior school intake comes from the state sector, and over 50 per cent come from the on-site Prep School.

HM Forces, and many families are linked to nearby Catterick Garrison, Europe's largest military base.[45] 15 per cent of boarders have parents living overseas, particularly Hong Kong.[45] An Open Day is held several times a year when the school welcomes prospective students and their families to tour the school.[46]

Academic and routine

Every weekday (except for Wednesday) begins with a chapel service. School is held on Saturday mornings, with many sporting fixtures taking place on Saturday afternoons. There is an

state schools, as it received public funding. The headmaster is aided in his running of the school by the monitor (prefect) system. As well as the standard subjects, Latin, Classics, Ancient History, Greek, German and Spanish are taught. The school has a strong reputation for sciences.[47] In 2011 the Independent Schools Inspectorate described the school's ethos as "traditionally unpretentious".[48]

Pastoral

Pastoral care is provided through the

interdenominational, whilst maintaining its foundation in Christian principles and values.[52]

Governance

The school is a

The Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference since 1944.[54]

Extracurricular activities

The houses form the basis for much competition within the school. The first competition in the school year is the House Singing Competition in which every member of the school takes part. Thereafter, throughout the school year, the houses compete against each other in a variety of academic, artistic, and sporting events. An extensive range of almost 100 after-school activities are offered throughout the year, such as The Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme up to Gold level.[55]

Sport

Rugby for boys and hockey for girls are the major sports during the Autumn term. In the Spring Term the boys play

Sports Day
is a major fixture in the school calendar.

Barnard Run

The Barnard Run is a school competition, consisting of a cross-country trial over a hilly course. It is the most important sporting event in the school year.[57] The course has varied considerably over the years.[58] It dates back to 1892 when Lord Barnard donated and presented the trophy.[59] The race takes place annually at the end of the first half of the Spring Term. The girls' and younger boys' race is 2¾ miles while the senior boys' is 4 miles.[60]

Historically the Barnard Run was a seven-mile course which began at Towler Hill Farm, ran to Cotherstone suspension bridge, with an undetermined route back to the school.[57] In 1898 a 4-mile junior Barnard Run was created for 11- to 14-year-olds.[57] In 1904 it was decided that it would be easier for training purposes if the run began at the school, and a new course was developed.[57]

CCF

The Junior Officers' Training Corps was established at the school in 1909 following an invitation from

armoury and an indoor shooting range. In 2012 the contingent won the Colts Canter competition, which saw it named the best force in the North of England.[63] The CCF offers a variety of trips ranging from shooting range days to summer camps and even visits to military bases. In 2021 three students were appointed to assist the Lord Lieutenant of Durham in her majesty Mrs Snowdon's duties.[64]

Participation in the CCF is optional.

RAF contingent

The CCF also has an RAF contingent which has its own uniform and ranks, though parading alongside the army section. The RAF also attend memorial services such as the Teesdale Aviation Day,[65] as well as trips and flying experience opportunities at the nearby Leeming airbase.

Rugby union

The school has produced 38 U19 international rugby players, leading The Times to comment that it has "a happy knack of producing some of England's finest rugby talents."[66][67] The Observer commented on the rugby success in 2008, "Someone should analyse what they put in the food".[68] The most prominent are Rob Andrew, brothers Rory Underwood and Tony Underwood, and Mathew Tait who have all played for England at international level. Former headmaster David Ewart explained the school's rugby ethos: "We believe the game breeds important life skills in those who play it. It's a civilising game and you need to be a gentlemen on the pitch, as well as off."[69] During the period 1970 to 1995 no other British school produced as many England international players.[70] In 2012 Tim Visser described his former school's rugby programme as "brilliant".[71]

The school is a prominent feeder institution for the

Alex Gray and Ross Batty. Many Barnardians represent junior international sides, as well as the North of England, several northern county sides (such as Durham, Cumbria, Yorkshire and Cheshire) and the Independent Schools' Barbarians. The 1st VII have appeared in the final of the North of England Sevens and National Schools Sevens
.

The School's 1st XV team reached the final of the national

Colston's School and Warwick School respectively in the 2002, 2003 and 2007 finals. In 2007/2008, the 1st XV were beaten in the semi-finals 19-16 by St Benedict's School. The school reached the finals of the National Schools Sevens in 2002 and 2005.[73]

Tradition

Cheers: If a school sports team is victorious the entire team will, on return to school, stand on Central Hall Table (Central Hall being the school's focal point) and the captain will lead three cheers for the school. For the 1st XV cheers also take place after home victories. The team gathers in what is known as Back Porch immediately after the match and three cheers are sounded.

Foundation Day: Celebrated every 6 November. Initially the Barnard Run was held on this day.

paper chase, but this was replaced after Lord Barnard donated the Barnard Cup.[57]

Nailing Up: This occurs at every end of term school chapel service. Originally taking place in Central Hall, the captain of the house team which had won that term's major sporting event would climb up to his house shield displayed on the first floor balcony and nail the award to the shield. Nowadays the captain of the winning house team comes to the front of chapel and ceremonially taps the shield. "Jerusalem" is always sung at the last service of term.

Speech Day: Occurring on the final day of the Summer Term (usually a Saturday) the entire school community including parents, relatives and friends of the school, meet for Speech Day. The Chairman of the Governors, the Headmaster, an invited Speaker and the Head of School make speeches, and academic prizes are awarded to pupils. Past speakers have included Hensley Henson, Kenneth Calman, Kevin Whately and Angus Thirlwell.[80][81]
