Festival fun farewell, Years 6 pupils from Barnard Castle Preparatory School enjoy GlastonBarney

The curtain fell on children’s primary education with a farewell festival to remember.

Year 6 children from Barnard Castle Preparatory School attended their very own GlastonBarney, a festival of fun, food, games and sounds.

Bouncy assault courses, knockout spinners and bungee tug of war trials were among a variety of games set up as their Prep School days came to an end.

A host of tasty treats were consumed on the school fields as staff performed live music to create a festival feel and the children enjoyed what has become a Barney Prep rite of passage before starting at Senior School in September.

Headmistress Laura Turner said: “For the Year 6 pupils it marks the end of their primary education and they look forward to GlastonBarney all year.

“Looking back, it is amazing how much they have grown and developed as young people and they are now very much looking forward to moving seamlessly into Year 7 at Barnard Castle School and the next stage of their learning.”
