"A good school with some areas for improvement"

We have been generally pleased with our experience at Barwell Church of England Academy, but there have been a few issues with communication and organisation. That being said, the teachers are lovely and the facilities are great. With a bit more attention to detail, I think this school could be truly exceptional!
