## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — AVOID for SEN: Yet another school that's all to ready to Milk SEN pupils budgets to support a financially struggling school. Particularly selective with which SEN children they accept , usually the ones that attract the most funding. SEN abuse at its finest Building smells so bad from damp too. It's worrying where all the money goes because it certainly isn't spent on upkeep. *(Mar 2025)*
- **5/5** — Best school in Barrow!: We've been absolutely delighted with Chetwynde School. The facilities are amazing, and the staff are so supportive and caring. Our daughter has thrived there, especially with the emphasis on respect, responsibility, and resilience - it's helped her develop into a confident and kind young person. We couldn't recommend it more! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Excellent school with great values: We've been really impressed with Chetwynde School so far. The teachers are all very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the school's values of respect, responsibility, and resilience are really evident. Our son loves going to school and is making lots of friends - we're so grateful to have found such a wonderful school. *(May 2022)*
- **3/5** — Be careful about this place.: Forget everything else, they let a guy convicted of grooming girls come into my year group. They also will give up on trying to help you if it your mental health issues keep going on for too long. The attitude from teachers is nice, but they need to stop letting anyone come in. Also got a throat infection from one of the lunch foods. *(Oct 2021)*
