"Our child is Thriving at Bishop Barrington!"

We were a bit worried about our child joining a new school, but Bishop Barrington Academy has been a great decision. The elite sports academy has been a big plus and our child loves attending the after-school clubs. The RISE values are being instilled in our child and we're seeing a confident and enthusiastic learner.

"Mixed Feelings about Bishop Barrington"

Bishop Barrington Academy was our child's first school experience, and while we're grateful for the opportunities provided, we felt it was a bit disjointed in terms of curriculum and pastoral support. The staff were always friendly, but we felt our child struggled to keep up with the pace. That being said, the after-school clubs were excellent and helped our child find a passion.
