East Barnet School is a leading co-educational secondary school and sixth form in North London, offering an exceptional state-funded education for students aged 11 to 18. Established in 1937, the school has a long tradition of academic excellence and personal development.

The school’s ethos is encapsulated in its mottos: “I want to learn” and “Do the right thing”, emphasising both academic ambition and personal integrity. These values are integrated into the school’s curriculum and extracurricular activities, aiming to develop well-rounded individuals prepared for the challenges of modern society.

Housed in a purpose-built, modern campus with outstanding facilities, including science labs, arts studios, and extensive sports grounds, East Barnet School offers the environment and opportunities expected from top-tier schools. We are proud holders of the Carnegie Centre of Excellence’s Silver Award for Mental Health in Schools, reflecting our commitment to nurturing confident, happy, and resilient young people.

As an academy since 2011, we provide the freedom and innovation to deliver a first-class education, with many students progressing to top universities and competitive careers. For families looking for the calibre of a private education within a dynamic and supportive state school, East Barnet School offers the perfect balance.
