The Federation of Chalvedon and Barstable Schools
As of January 2006, the school became part of a federation with local school, Chalvedon School. They were both currently run by headmaster Alan Roach. In Mr. Roach's own words:
"As Principal from January 2006, I look forward to leading Barstable School from strength to strength. Mrs Jones, Associate Principal, and I take very seriously our responsibility for the children and for the future of the School.
Our vision is one in which the high standard of education provided is reflected in all pupils’ progress and achievement. Our hope is that most of our pupils will continue their education in our College. Pupils already know that we have the highest expectations of them and that there can be no compromise in standards of attainment, attendance and behaviour. They also know that we will not compromise on the quality of teaching or in our efforts to provide the best possible learning environment."

Famous quotes containing the words federation and/or schools:
“Women realize that we are living in an ungoverned world. At heart we are all pacifists. We should love to talk it over with the war-makers, but they would not understand. Words are so inadequate, and we realize that the hatred must kill itself; so we give our men gladly, unselfishly, proudly, patriotically, since the world chooses to settle its disputes in the old barbarous way.”
—General Federation Of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)
“If the women of the United States, with their free schools and all their enlarged liberties, are not superior to women brought up under monarchical forms of government, then there is no good in liberty.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
