Barclay Primary School

As a co-educational, six-form entry primary school, Barclay is one of the largest and most high-performing primary schools in the country. Judged by Ofsted in May 2016 and November 2021 to be "outstanding" across all categories, Barclay has risen from the bottom 5% of schools nationally in 2008 to sustaining a place in the top 3% of schools nationally.

We aim to create a safe, welcoming and caring environment, where all are respectful and work together as a community, for the children, their families and the staff. We teach all pupils to value different communities and religions and to respect and understand people’s different lifestyles and background.

As a school, we aim to challenge all pupils academically, making them assessment proficient learners through a strong focus on targeted teaching for each pupil. The students will develop academic and life skills, and understand that learning doesn't stop at the school gates and is a lifelong process.
