'Barn Croft is an extremely friendly and welcoming school at the heart of the local community. The school has set an ambitious mission for its pupils to aim high and achieve their potential as socially responsible citizens. Pupils live up to these expectations, they work hard and generally achieve well. '
'The early years is a warm and inviting space for children to learn in. Children play and learn together confidently. For example, they take turns as they practise their number skills by counting out items on a treasure map. The outdoor provision supports the development of pupils’ gross motor skills effectively, including balance and coordination.'
'Staff set equally high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Pupils understand that they must be ‘ready, respectful, and safe’. They are politely and respectful, make sensible choices and behave well. This creates a positive learning environment, which supports pupils to feel happy and safe at school.'
