Barton Peveril was recognised because of its digital learning capabilities and continued success delivering teaching and support remotely.   Throughout the current Covid-19 pandemic Barton Peveril have used technology to successfully enable all timetabled lessons, for each of its 3,600 students, to continue online.

@bartonpeveril successfully launched a student-lead mentoring programme for its Biology A Level, to help students during the current lockdown. Second year Biology students used the knowledge they gained in preparation for their summer exams, which were cancelled, to mentor first year students and provide them with further support ahead of the last year of their college studies. The programme was established after a second year student approached their Biology teacher, offering to share their expertise with first year students.
