Barcroft Academy
About Barcroft Academy
Barcroft Academy, a state primary in Walsall for children aged 3 to 11, was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent inspection. The single most informative exam metric available is the school’s Key Stage 2 performance, with 60% of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That figure sits almost exactly on the local authority average of 61%, placing Barcroft in the middle of the pack among Walsall’s 85 primary schools. It is not among the six Outstanding primaries in the borough, and its ranking score is well below top performers such as St Anne’s Catholic Primary School, Streetly (score 100) or Croft Academy (89). Still, the combination of a Good Ofsted rating and broadly average outcomes suggests a dependable academic experience for most children, with no significant red flags in the data.
