School Guide verdict
Barfield Prep School is an independent primary in Guildford with a Church of England character, where its 2026 ISI inspection judged the quality of academic and other achievements excellent.
Independent preparatory schools do not have to follow the National Curriculum or submit test results to the Department for Education so there is no individual school performance data or star rating.
Visit the school's website to learn more about their unique curriculum, policies on testing and common leaver destinations (a good indicator of pupil progress). See our About page for information on Choosing A Prep School.
