There is a strong academic legacy with an individual focus on strengthening each pupil’s confidence and abilities. The school aims to ensure that each child is happy, challenged and empowered to take full advantage of the wealth of opportunities on offer at Lady Barn House School; leaving them equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to make a successful transition to Senior School. 

The School has its own site on Schools Hill, Cheadle, enjoying its own superior facilities, including specialist classrooms, a fully equipped EYFS unit with exceptional indoor and outdoor facilities, a separate performing arts building, an extensive Woodlands School area, indoor gymnasium and two large floodlit astro-turfs. Lady Barn House School recognises that its staff are its most valuable asset and seeks to recruit and retain energetic, dedicated and creative staff with a passion for education. The aspirations of children and parents are high and we are constantly striving to maintain and further improve our standards. Above all we are a happy and dynamic place in which to teach and work.

Due to the extension of our out of hours provision, we provide our own holiday club at Lady Barn House School for all school holidays, with the exception of the Christmas holiday period. 

This is an exciting opportunity for enthusiastic, creative and caring childcare providers to be a part of this new holiday club venture at Lady Barn House School.
