Barclay Primary School at a glance

Located in London, Waltham Forest, Barclay Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as an academy converter. The school educates roughly 1,265 pupils aged 3 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 87% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 12.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 4% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 22% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Barclay Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links further down the page.
