    Really Supportive...

    As a former student, I can only write from experience. I suffered severely with my mental health whilst I attended the Barclay School. The support I received was fantastic. I was guided for every step of the way, I had regular meetings with the ladies in the flat. The nurse, Kim Hutchinson, was absolutely fantastic, she made sure I was alright and always treated me like a person rather than just a number. I also unfortunately self harmed quite badly on a regular basis and Kim was always there to...

    A very good school

    My daughter attends Barclay Academy and is thriving. The school has high expectations in both education and behaviour. My daughter has friends, enjoys the extra-curricular clubs and receives a good standard of education. The recently graded 'good' from Ofsted, with several 'outstanding' areas was well deserved. Parent's are kept updated regularly about school life. Teachers can be strict, but they are fair and children that behave are acknowledged. Definitely now one of the better schools in Stevenage!

    A very good school!

    My daughter attends Barclay Academy and is thriving. The school expects a high standard in both education and behaviour. My daughter has friends, enjoys the extra-curricular clubs and above all is receiving a good education. A recently graded 'Good' from Ofsted, with several areas 'outstanding' was well deserved.

    Yup - go here

    Great school. The work is hard but the teachers help us to make it easier. I am proud of my school and of me for what I learn there. I do 5 different clubs and am always going on trips. I was bullied once but my head of year dealt with it and it didn't happen again. I feel safe and like they care about me. Canteen prices should be lower though

    Good school

    A really great school. My daughter takes part in a lot of clubs after school which she enjoys. Any issues are dealt with by heads of year really quickly.

    i think Barclay is an outstanding school. I love it a lot and all the teachers treat us like adults and not like children. It’s the best :)
