- **4/5** — 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. *(Jun 2022)*
