"Good School, but Room for Improvement"

We're really happy with Barley Fields, but sometimes I feel like the communication between teachers and parents could be better. The school meals are lovely, though, and my daughter loves her PE lessons.

"Brilliant School!"

I'm so glad we chose Barley Fields for my daughter. The staff are all so friendly and supportive, and the facilities are amazing. She loves her Forest School sessions and the after-school clubs are really well-organised.

"Excellent Education!"

My son had a fantastic time at Barley Fields, and I'm so grateful for the education he received. The school's values are really clear and the teachers all work together to support the children. I was impressed by the iPads the children got to use from Year 2.
