iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Barwell Infant School on behalf of Barwell Infant School, I would like to welcome you to our school website where you will be able to find out about our happy, caring and successful school and the many opportunities that we have on offer for our children and families.
We are committed to providing a high level of education for all of our children, giving them the best start in life that we can. We aim to create an exciting, stimulating and safe environment; and to provide the children with a range of learning opportunities that will encourage the 'all round' development of each child - giving them foundations and skills for life.
We work in partnership with parents and carers, and encourage their involvement in many aspects of school life. This includes regular opportunities for you to find out about your child's education and progress, as well as joining us for fun events over the school year and opportunities for informal conversations with the staff each day.
