About

All the staff at Barncroft Primary are committed to giving the children here the very best learning opportunities; we all want to do our best for the children. We want your child to be a motivated and enthusiastic learner who will be brave when learning; never afraid to try new things.

To help ensure that this happens, we will continue to look at ways of making our curriculum exciting. I will strive to promote and support excellent practice within our school. The relationships between teachers, children and parents are fundamental to the success of the school.

Working together, we can ensure that children enjoy their time at Barncroft, make good progress and leave us as responsible, well-qualified, mature young people, ready to make a valued contribution to society. My expectations of the children, in terms of their achievement and behaviour, are very high.

I expect all members of the school community to uphold the values of our school. We look forward to a positive and successful relationship with you and your child so please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to visit the school or have any queries.
