St Barnabas CEP School

Come and join us to explore this Victorian Primary School set in what was the working-class centre of Tunbridge Wells. The Victorian exterior of the school is largely as it was, and inside, although altered to provide suitable classrooms for the children, you can still see much of the original elements and physical structure of the building. In some of the classrooms, there will be albums of old school photos, the original Headteacher's log books stretching back to the opening of the school, old school registers and some other donations from ex-pupils. You can explore the school on your own or join a guided tour of the school.
On the day we will be inviting local artists to come and paint the school with a four hour deadline so that we can see their different takes on the Victorian architecture of the school, we are hoping to then produce an exhibition at the school with the finished artworks, come along and watch their work as it progresses.
