Barn Croft Primary is one of the few remaining single-form entry primary schools left in the borough of Waltham Forest and we pride ourselves on knowing all our children as individuals. Our personalized approach extends throughout a child's school career from the initial home visit in the nursery when staff takes the time to get to know the parent and child through to individualized revision plans and Easter school to help Year 6 pupils fulfill their potential.
We are a friendly and inclusive school where children settle in quickly and make good progress. We believe that at the heart of this success lies good communication between home and school. Therefore our Head Teacher can be regularly found in the playground so that they can greet the children at the start of the day and be available to meet parents and discuss any concerns that might arise. This also means that we send home weekly newsletters, have a Suggestion Box for good ideas, hold termly Parents Evenings and conduct an annual survey so that we know what parents think of us and how we could improve. Good communication is a two-way process, and we will also be in touch quickly with any parents where, for example, attendance is poor behavior or learning causes concern a child is frequently late or comes to school without the correct uniform.
Barn Croft Primary is a rapidly improving school that has seen many changes in recent years. Those changes, and future changes, all have one purpose - to provide the pupils of Barn Croft Primary with the best possible education.
We Believe:
- That all individuals should be happy and enjoy coming to school.
- In high standards of all areas of school life.
- That all children should have equal access to the curriculum regardless of sex, color, creed, or special needs.
- In encouraging a positive partnership between home, school, and community.

- In having wholly inclusive structures and policies to break down barriers to achievement.
- In creating an environment of mutual respect and sensitivity between all individuals.
