We are seeking enthusiastic and committed individuals to join our Governing Body and help shape the future of our school community.

About Our School
Barncroft Primary was formed in February 2012 when the former Infant and Junior schools came together in a purpose‑built community building. Today, we proudly serveĀ 420+ children, with the vast majority of our families living in the Leigh Park area.
Our school has an excellent reputation, with a waiting list for admissions and a recentĀ OFSTED judgement confirming that we remain a GOOD school. You can learn more about our ethos, values, and achievements by visiting our Vision & Values page
