Barton Court Grammar School

I’ve been at the school for a few years and I’m really looking forwards to leaving it in the next few years for sixth form, since year 7 it’s been a big rollercoaster with lots of different moods. Most of the teachers are great but some aren’t always the nicest and the education isn’t the best and most teachers have their own ways of teaching which doesn’t always make any sense so most students spend their own time studying instead of doing that at school. Most the facilities are kept pretty poorly and some behaviour of pupils can be really bad, there’s been multiple exclusions and lots of fights and some bullying and there’s a lack of support for students and their mental health. From a few years back the school was amazing but due to many good staff leaving the quality has gone downhill. It’s just a personal opinion though, others may thing differently but that’s just me :-)

This school teaches a wide range of different subjects and makes all pupils feel included

I have been at Barton court for a couple of years and I have made some amazing friends, learnt some amazing things and had loads of fun. Lockdown was tough for all of us but teachers made it fun and kept us motivated. I haven’t had any problems with the work because there is the perfect amount, not to much but enough to challenge me, and my year group is very close, no issues with bullying or anything because we are all friends and aren’t afraid of each other.
