"A good school with some areas for improvement"
We've been at Barkway for a year now, and while it's been a positive experience overall, there are a few things that could be improved. The school could benefit from more resources and equipment, and some of the facilities are a bit outdated. However, the teachers are lovely and the values-based approach is really important to us.
