Barclay Primary School

The children were lovely slt however have made my job stressful. And I won’t be identifiable because everyone has the same experience. Disorganised being reprimanded in front of colleagues , children , parents anybody. The micromanagement is out of this world you can’t even close your door in your own time. I have been patronised many times , undermined and there are days when I have cried myself to sleep. The workload just never ends and it’s simply unrealistic. It is very normal to be in school up until 6pm and still have work to do at home because of unrealistic deadlines. And I’m sorry staying in school sometimes until 8pm for events is mind blowing as when you divide your hours and pay that works out just above minimum wage. The stress at this job was a nightmare and I would not recommend

i just left the school as a pupil of 7 years.i loved it but if there is one flaw i think it would have is that they should fix up their staff and leave good staff in both schools not just cantebury road overall 4/5

Deeply disappointed with the overall management of Barclay primary school. The leadership team appears disorganized and unresponsive, which directly impacts the quality of education and overall environment for the children. The most concerning issue is the alarmingly high teacher turnover. It seems like there is a new teacher in my child's classroom every few months, which disrupts the consistency and stability that young students need. This constant change of staff is unsettling for the children and raises serious questions about the school's ability to retain quality educators. Additionally, the school's disregard for parent feedback and input is frustrating and shows a lack of respect for the community it serves. Unfortunately, the current management does not foster this partnership, and it greatly affects my trust and confidence in the school.

When changing for pe a male teacher came in when he knew we were changing, I was 11yrs old at the time an felt very uncomfortable
