Barham Primary School is situated in a residential area near Wembley High Road and Ealing Road. We are a large three-form-entry school admitting children from the age of 3 to 11 years. The original building dates from the 1930s. In 1991 the building was doubled in size by the completion of a new wing. In April 2003 a new sports hall and music suite were completed. This has made the school a very spacious, bright, and welcoming place. We also have extensive playgrounds, a large field, and a nature area.
Our children, mainly from the immediate local area, come from a variety of backgrounds, faiths, and races. We are a multi-cultural school and proud to be so. We actively encourage a working partnership between parents and school in the belief that this leads to higher standards and the general well-being of all children in the school.
Mission Statement:
- Accelerate Learning
- Reach highest goals possible
- Aiming for a better future
- Respecting each other
- Working together
Our expansion has been built to meet the need of the high demand for school places in Brent. We now have nine extra classrooms, a large new ICT suite, a larger hall, extra play, and outdoor space, all built to a high standard. As part of the expansion, we now have a new colorful library, which has been designed to create a stimulating reading environment. Before the expansion, we could only offer 690 school places. By 2018 this will increase to 930 pupils.
