Harrowbarrow School is currently rated as requiring improvement across all areas of its performance. While pupils enjoy attending the school and engage positively with staff during lessons, there are concerns regarding behavior outside of the classroom. The school has not effectively managed behavior incidents, leading to challenges in fostering a respectful environment among pupils. Additionally, the curriculum lacks a clear vision and coherence, hindering pupils' ability to build on their knowledge effectively, particularly in subjects like writing and art. Safeguarding measures are deemed effective, and there is strong parental support for the school.
