The collapse of the company ensures Barnwell's pupils and the local community are the ones who suffer as a result, according to headteacher Tony Fitzpatrick. He said: "This loss of income has had a significant effect on the school and coupled with the ongoing loss of income due to the lockdown, it has meant that we have not been able to provide additional resources for our students as originally planned. "We are aware that other creditors, i.e. hirers of the school were also impacted, as they had paid in advance for the hire of the school premises. "Many of these are local community groups and small businesses, subsequently the school has been working with these groups so that they can continue to use the school's facilities."
