About the school

Barlows Primary is a community school with respect and diversity at its heart. We are an inclusive school where nurturing relationships develop alongside high expectations for behaviour and achievement. Our ethos promotes development of academic and emotional intelligence in all our pupils, enabling the breaking down of barriers they may face. Through opening the door to lifelong learning beyond the classroom, we strive to empower each child to achieve to the best of their ability. Displaying the opportunities available later in life supports children to succeed now and, in the future, this is evidenced by our last Ofsted inspection (September 2019) which stated ‘The. school supports pupils’ personal development extremely well. Pupils are taught how to keep themselves safe and healthy. They learn the importance of resilience, and this helps them to become confident learners. Pupils also learn the importance of tolerance and respect.’
