Ofsted

Barnhill is a 'Good' School that also provides evidence to suggest it could be 'Outstanding'.

Barnhill's most recent Ofsted inspection found the school to be 'Good' with evidence to suggest it could be 'Outstanding' in a full inspection.  You can read the most recent inspection report by clicking here.

Barnhill Ofsted Report November 2022

You can download the reports on the Ofsted website

As Ofsted inspections occur every four years or so, the school is also reviewed by Challenge Partners each year.  This involves a skilled team of reviewers, lead by an Ofsted qualified inspector, reviewing the school.  I am very pleased to announce that the review team has judged Barnhill to be top in each category since 2019.

You can see a copy of the reports here:

  • Leaders have high aspirations for pupils.
  • Pupils here show respect for all. They are polite, friendly and confident in expressing their views.
