"Mixed Feelings"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Barns Green. The facilities are great and the teachers are generally supportive, but sometimes we feel like the school is a bit too focused on standardised testing. My child loves the PTA events and the community feel, but we've had a few issues with communication from the school.

"Fantastic School Experience"

We've been at Barns Green for two years now and it's been an absolute pleasure. My child loves the outdoor learning and the teachers are so supportive. The values of respect, responsibility, and perseverance are really evident in the way the school operates.

"Lovely School with Great Staff"

We left Barns Green after six years and it was a difficult decision, but we felt it was time to move on. The staff are amazing and really care about the children. The curriculum is rich and varied and my child loved the DT and art classes.
