Barcroft Primary School

Barcroft Primary is a primary school that teaches pupils aged 3-11. We have a school based Nursery and then classes run from Reception to Year 6. Nursery has a morning session (8:45-11:45) and an afternoon session (12:30-3:30). Reception to Year 6 is a two form entry with 2 classes per year group.

We believe that Barcroft is a special and unique school from our in-house barge to Barcroft’s very own castle!
However, the most unique part of Barcroft is our wonderful children, who achieve exceptional things every day and are the beating heart of the school. We are supported by a wonderful school community that helps to guide our children’s learning in collaboration with our school.

Barcroft Primary School is a founder member of The Lighthouse Federation, a family of like-minded schools working collaboratively to support, guide and inspire our children through their educational journey.
