Barnwell School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form established in 1959 and in the south of Stevenage, Hertfordshire.
Between 2002 and 2005 it was the most improved school in Hertfordshire and one of the most improved schools in England. The overall pass rate this year[ when? ] is 48 per cent for grades A to C — a one per cent increase on year before, but still below the national average by far.[ citation needed ]
In September 2006 the school expanded by taking in the students from another nearby school that closed (Collenswood). As a consequence, the school now has two campuses: Barnwell Upper Campus (the original Barnwell site) and, less than a mile away, Barnwell Middle Campus (formerly the site of Heathcote School).
The school was designated as a Business and Enterprise College in September 2004 due to having an emphasis on maths, business and IT.
