"Outstanding Education and Values"

As a former parent of a child who attended Barrow Hedges Primary, I can honestly say it's one of the best schools I've ever known. The education is second to none, and the values of respect, kindness and responsibility are truly embedded in the school culture. My child thrived at Barrow Hedges and I have no doubt that the school will continue to provide an outstanding education to its pupils.

"FUN AND AMAZING FRIENDS"

I’m a student at this school and it’s not bad but not amazing either it’s quite normal some of the teachers are a bit strict but there’s loads of fun here and amazing friends. Learning is pretty ok but for some maybe confusing there is also help support and you can always talk to an adult.

"Some Good Aspects, But Room for Improvement"

I've been pleased with some aspects of Barrow Hedges Primary, such as the school's commitment to sustainability and the provision of wrap-around care. However, I've had some issues with communication with the teachers and the school's approach to dealing with behaviour issues. Overall, it's an okay school, but I think there's room for improvement.

"Wonderful School and Friendly Staff"

I've been really impressed with Barrow Hedges Primary. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming, and the facilities are great. My child loves the extra-curricular activities and the House System is a great way to foster a sense of community. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the school lunches could be a bit better.
