"Great school! Teachers listen and take care of the children - I would recommend Barrs Court to everyone."
"Could not be more grateful for this school with supporting my child with the extra support needed and always being so positive"
"A fantastic school. Staff go above and beyond. It has a great community feel. Mr Webster and senior management make it their business to know each and every child. The teachers in reception are fantastic. I cannot recommend this school enough."
"This is a brilliant school. My SEND children enjoy it and are very well-supported. Excellent, caring teaching staff"
"Parents evening to see how children are getting on. Children enjoy fun activities, events. Each new term receive what different learning children will be doing and things we can do at home plus children enjoy topic homework and being praised for it at school. Children enjoy getting golden award Certificates and a little treat. Staff friendly, children are getting the help and support they need."
"Barrs Court is a truly great school, and all of the staff emulate this! Really appreciative of the time, patience and continual support that the school, teachers, TA's, support staff and PTFA provide. Since Mr Webster has become Headmaster there is a really positive energy that ripples through school and I feel that through my children who enjoy attending school here. Thank you to everyone - keep up the tremendous work :-)"

"I am really impressed with the communication from the school. You’re doing a great job of making parents and carers up dated with what’s happening in the school and inside the classrooms, via emails, app notifications and Facebook. The reception teachers and assistants are very friendly and approachable, and I feel they have my daughters best interest at heart through the conversations I have had so far. Thank you."
The school feels very friendly and welcoming. We're are really impressed with how smooth xxxxx has settled into school and he comes out of school every day excited to tell me what he has learnt. The communication between home and school feels right. We are very glad he is at Barr's Court.
"Barrs court is a BRILLIANT school you should all be proud of yourselves a great team."
School has been so supportive of xxxxxxx needs. We were worried about him going to school but the whole experience has been amazing. The Reception staff are warm and welcoming and Mr Webster is always available.
"We’re so pleased with how well our daughter has settled. She’s really enjoying school and she’s already learnt so much, thank you."
