Zach is really enjoying online learning and we
have none of the resistance to homework that we
sometimes used to have with paper work. He also
has longer concentration and more motivation this
way.  Parent
Mrs Aubrey-Smith, please will you give me more

Collaboration at East Barnet School

Personally, I think the new school building
should be decorated with bright and bold colours!
The students and teachers would want to come to

and even behaved like an operating system.
