School Description

Barrow Hedges is larger than the average-sized primary school. The early years provision comprises a part-time Nursery and three full-time Reception classes. There are three classes in each of Years 1 to 5 and two in Year 6. Most pupils are White British. The proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is lower than the national average but is increasing in the early years. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is well below average. Less than 10% of pupils are supported by the pupil premium, which provides additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those in local authority care. This is well below the national average. In 2014, there were fewer than five eligible pupils in Year 6. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics. The headteacher returned from maternity leave immediately following the previous inspection. There has been significant staff turnover since the previous inspection. In September 2014, 12 teachers were recruited, nine of whom were newly qualified. The school works in partnership with Avenue Primary School, a local Teaching School, to facilitate a support programme for all newly qualified staff.

“Happy with Barrow Hedges”

unlock
"> Slightly odd that previous reviews were all written on the same date. Anyway, we've had one child who has just finished school at BH; another finished several years to go. We've been very happy. Both children have progressed well & been very happy. Good sense of community & school has instilled good values & encouraged them to try their best.
