Welcome to Vernon Barford’s website, and thank you for your interest in our school. The core purposes of our school are to
a) Ensure learning and b) Promote positive development of the whole child.

We offer Regular and Gifted & Talented programming at all three grade levels, and our school is home to approximately 800 students in grades 7 through 9. We continue to have a proud tradition of providing excellence and opportunity in academics and various extracurricular activities.

The 2023-24 School Year:

For the 2023-24 Vernon Barford School is full in all Grades 7, 8, and 9 programs. Therefore, we will now only accept resident students in Grades 7, 8, and 9 who have newly moved into Vernon Barford School’s attendance area and Dr. Margaret Ann Armour School’s attendance area for the Regular Program. A resident student of Edmonton Public Schools has at least one parent or legal guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic. Non-resident students can enrol in another Division school with space in planned classes.

If you are new to Edmonton Public Schools, you must register online.
