"Lovely Community Feel"

We've had our child at Barwic Parade for 3 years now and have been thoroughly impressed. The inclusive and welcoming atmosphere is just what we wanted for our child - they've made so many friends. The facilities are also excellent, our child loves visiting the library and forest school.

"Friendly and Supportive Staff"

My child has been at Barwic Parade since Reception and we've been delighted with the progress they've made. The teachers are so approachable and supportive, always happy to discuss our child's needs. We also appreciate the extra-curricular activities they offer, our child loves Forest School on Fridays.

"Varied Experience"

We had our child at Barwic Parade for 3 years, but had a mixed experience. The staff were generally friendly and enthusiastic, but there were some inconsistent teaching methods and not enough individual attention for our child. We also thought the uniform was too expensive and restrictive.
