"Fantastic school for our child"

We have been absolutely delighted with the Barnes Wallis Academy since our child started in Year 7. The teachers are knowledgeable, the facilities are excellent, and the sense of community is fantastic. The "Personal best, no excuses" philosophy really resonates with us and our child is thriving. We can't recommend the school highly enough.

"Mixed feelings about our experience"

We have mixed feelings about our experience at the Barnes Wallis Academy. While our child received a good education and the facilities are excellent, we felt that the school could have done more to support our child's pastoral needs. However, we do appreciate the school's commitment to excellence and the opportunities our child had.
