The Barn Team

The Barn is owned by Richard and Abigail Compton-Burnett, who together share responsibility for the management of The Barn.

Clare Stanley and Lisa McPherson are the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Leads and together are in charge of all aspects of educational practice at The Barn.

We ensure that each chid is given care and attention with our generous staffing ratios.

Lisa is the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) and Designated Safeguarding Lead, with Clare as the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead.

Every teacher is the "Key Person" for a small number of children at The Barn and will have regular contact with those children and their parents.

Every member of our dedicated staff team is responsible for an area of The Barn.
