"Outstanding School!"

We've been at Balcarras for a few years now and we're so impressed with the school. The facilities are incredible, the teachers are passionate and the values are spot on. Our child has thrived and is now in year 9, achieving great grades and developing into a confident young person. We couldn't be happier!

"Mixed Feelings"

We've been at Balcarras for a year now and while it's a great school, we've noticed a few areas for improvement. The facilities are fantastic and the teachers seem passionate about their subjects, but the school's focus on attendance and behavior can be a bit too rigid at times. Our child is settling in well and enjoying the extra-curricular activities, but we're still getting used to the school's systems and communication.

"Amazing School!"

We moved to Cheltenham a few years ago and were lucky enough to have our children attend Balcarras. The school's commitment to comprehensive education and inclusion is truly inspiring. The extra-curricular programs are fantastic and the teachers go above and beyond to support the students. We're so grateful to have had the experience.
