East Barnet School first opened in 1937, but has only had five Headteachers in over 80 years of operation. We now have a state-of-the-art modern building which opened in September 2010 and was designed in close consultation with staff and students to capture the school’s "I want to learn" philosophy. We became an Academy in April 2011.

Our school is characterised by our outstanding pastoral system, the excellent support we provide for our staff and our philosophy of compassionate leadership. East Barnet School was delighted to be awarded the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health in Schools ‘School Mental Health Award’ at Silver Level in March 2020. The school was recognised by the Lead Coach as having a warm and nurturing environment where staff and students are well supported. The school is leading the way on a wide variety of mental health partnerships in the area.

The wellbeing of our students is vitally important, and so is the wellbeing of our staff. The school has a Staff Council where new ideas are presented to the Headteacher (we have a Student Council too!), and we offer various sporting activities for staff to take part in after school - or join other members of the team in taking a walk round our cycle track during lunchtime! To make life a little easier for busy staff, we also have a dry cleaning pick-up and drop-off service, car washing, and Mindfulness sessions, along with other initiatives to improve work-life balance.

Our Motto, "I want to learn" reflects a belief that motivation is the most important factor for achieving successes in education. We also know that interesting and challenging lessons, combined with a culture where educational success is valued and respected by all members of the school community will ensure that students remain focused on learning. Our success in achieving such a culture is undoubtedly the reason for the high academic standards and popularity of East Barnet School.

Behaviour and safety were judged to be outstanding at the last OFSTED inspection. Exclusions are relatively low and attendance is very high. However, the ethos of our school is more wide ranging and richer than these basic tenets. We aspire to develop in all our students the personal qualities which are required for successful adult lives, and to instil attitudes and behaviours that will help them to make a positive contribution to their communities and the wider world.

We are proud of being a true comprehensive school, where students throughout the ability range are able to achieve success. We celebrate our diversity and respect the heritage, religion and culture of all our students and staff.

A number of our members of staff have children who attend the school, and many were ex-students themselves. We therefore have a very strong community spirit and are committed to providing all our children with the best education possible.

East Barnet School may have a fabulous building, but it is the people that make it really special.

Together we are #TeamEBS!
