'The Barnehurst Federation of Schools provides a unique and innovative curriculum of the highest quality empowering children to harness the ‘Power of Me’ and unleashing 'Power of We’ as global citizens of the 21st century.'  

As Headteacher, I am proud to lead a school community where every child is known, valued and encouraged to achieve their very best. At Barnehurst, we are committed to providing an exceptional education within a caring, inclusive and inspiring environment where children feel safe, supported and challenged to thrive.

Our vision is to develop confident, resilient and compassionate learners who are equipped with the knowledge, skills and character needed to succeed in an ever-changing world. Through our engaging and innovative Global Citizenship curriculum, we nurture curiosity, creativity and critical thinking, empowering children to become active and responsible members of both their local and global communities.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to flourish academically, socially and emotionally. High expectations, excellent teaching and a rich range of learning experiences enable our pupils to discover their strengths, embrace challenges and develop a lifelong love of learning.

At the heart of our school is a strong commitment to wellbeing. We recognise that children learn best when they feel happy, secure and connected. Promoting positive mental health and emotional wellness remains a key priority, ensuring that every member of our school community is supported to be the very best version of themselves.

The partnership between school, home and community is central to our success, and we greatly value the trust that families place in us. Together, we create a nurturing and ambitious environment where children can grow in confidence and achieve their full potential.

I look forward to welcoming you to The Barnehurst Federation of Schools and sharing with you all that makes our school such a special place to learn and belong.

Best wishes,

Tamara Hunter
Headteacher
