The idea of a private preparatory school in Mashonaland Central began to form in the 1980s due to the rapid development of mining in the region, which was spearheaded by Anglo American. In 1984, the General Manager of Caesar Mine and Associate mines in the area met with local farmers and formed a development committee. Suitable land off Barwick road was identified for the development of Barwick School where it is situated today. The site chosen was close to power, water and easily accessible with a good road.[3]
After capital injections, designing, engineering and building of the school through the combined effort of the farming and mining communities, Barwick School opened on 25 January 1988 with an office block, class rooms, and hostels completed. By 1991, the school's enrollment was filled to capacity, the grades being streamlined into having two classes per grade and a waiting list was formed.[3]
