Barnwood Park School

Term 6 2025

What a year it's been! As we approach the end of the academic year, it's with immense pride and gratitude that we look back on a period of truly remarkable school improvement. This hasn't just been a good year; it's been a transformative one, marked by team effort, unwavering dedication, and outstanding achievements across every part of school life.

One of the most significant areas of growth has been in our academic performance. Through improved teaching strategies, we have seen a notable increase in the percentage of students meeting and exceeding expectations. But beyond the numbers, what's truly inspiring is the visible enthusiasm for learning amongst our students and the confidence with which they approach new challenges.

Beyond the classroom, we've vastly expanded our number of trips, visits and guest speakers. From new sports clubs to a thriving dance club and our incredible school production of High School Musical! Year 10s had a brilliant week of work experience, as well as several students going on the GLT Barcelona trip and the Geography Field Trips. Year 7s and 8s have had STEM drop down days focusing on developing that love of science and technology. There have been lots of charity events raising money and awareness, with a particular mention to all of the brilliant work around the Lions at Large project – look out for our Lion, Lawrence, who is based at Gloucester Quays.

None of these achievements would have been possible without the incredible partnership between our dedicated staff, supportive parents, and, of course, our amazing students. Our teachers have gone above and beyond, tirelessly working to implement new strategies and provide the best possible education. Parents and carers have engaged more than ever, attending workshops, information evenings, volunteering their time at various events, and supporting their children's learning journeys at home. And our students have risen to every challenge, demonstrating resilience, adaptability, and an eagerness to learn. While we celebrate this year's successes, we're also excited about what the future holds. 

Next year will see our House system relaunched, as well as house points which will be collected in exchange for rewards trips and events. An increased extracurricular programme will also be on offer. Watch this space!

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this fantastic year of improvement. Together, we are building a school where every student can thrive and reach their full potential. Here's to continued success!
