Welcome to Barnwell School, Stevenage
Severe Weather & Emergency Closure
Should we have bad weather that prevents the school from opening, an announcement will be made via local radio stations Jack FM (106.7 and 106.9 FM) and BBC Three Counties Radio (103.8 FM).
There will also be information available on www.hertsdirect.org and the school website will be updated.
