All roads lead to Barnard Castle School thanks to transport link boost
This article is sponsored by Barnard Castle School.
It is now easier than ever to reach Barnard Castle School thanks to a raft of new transport links, including from the Harrogate district.
Set in the heart of the stunning Northern countryside, the independent school, known affectionately as 'Barney, is well-served by a growing number transport connections, making it even more accessible.
The school currently offers 10 bus routes as part of its comprehensive transport services, which also cater for flexi passengers.
In 2020, two new routes were launched in Ripon and Yarm, which has helped to meet increased demand and to support the school's existing community.
Tony Jackson, headmaster at Barnard Castle School, said:
Mr Jackson said in nearby Tees Valley, significant investments had greatly strengthened the region’s transport infrastructure, including the re-emergence of Tees Valley International Airport in recent years and the planned major development of Darlington Railway Station.
He added:

His comments come ahead of open mornings at the co-educational independent day and boarding school, which has a history that stretches back to the 19th century.
The events, which take place on March 8 for Sixth Form, and March 19 for the Prep and Senior Schools, are aimed at giving parents and pupils an opportunity to get a feel for the school, inspect the facilities and chat with peers and staff.
