Sharon Brown, Headteacher
Minibus drivers needed for Barley and Barkway School and Preschool. We are looking for people to kindly volunteer to help drive the school minibus between the two schools. As a federation of schools, we are now increasingly involved in joint activities, and having a pool of people on whom we might call to help us out would be very valuable, so that we don't find ourselves asking the same people all the time! A few hours' training will be giving. 

In particular, we are currently looking for someone on Thursdays and Fridays at 1pm during term time only. This is to transport a few children from Barley to Barkway school so that they can attend the Preschool for the afternoon session. We would also like to hear from anyone who wishes to help on an ad-hoc basis. 

Please contact Sharon: head@barkway.herts.

Barley Parish Plan - first review published

The first review of the Barley Parish Plan, which was first produced in 2015, has been published by the Parish Council. 


The Council asked for volunteers to form a committee for this process. 


The Committee has reviewed what has happened over the last five years and how the previously identified village aspirations have been met. 


In tandem with the first review, the Committee compiled a new questionnaire to canvas the current views of villagers over a range of key topics, to allow the plan to be updated and to remain relevant.
