"A Truly Exceptional School!"

We're absolutely delighted with Newbarns. The values of 'only my best is good enough' really resonate with us. The teachers are dedicated and go above and beyond. Our child is learning so much and we're so grateful for the excellent education they're receiving.

"Mixed Experience"

We had a bit of a mixed experience at Newbarns. My child did excel academically, but we sometimes felt Communication could be better with the teachers. The facilities are great, and the pastoral care is wonderful. Overall, we're grateful for the opportunities Newbarns provided.

"Not good for mental health"

Worst place, started all my mental problems, didn't even care I was crying in the middle of class from bullying. I fell over once and hurt my shoulder bad and they said just deal with it, even though it was on my dominant arm. Thanks for giving me chronic loneliness and trauma 💜
