Barnburgh Primary Academy

About Barnburgh Primary Academy

Barnburgh Primary Academy is a state-funded mixed primary school in Doncaster, serving 229 pupils aged 3 to 11. Within the Doncaster local authority, it sits in the middle of the pack, ranking 37th out of 98 primary schools of the same type. Its ranking score of 65 places it some way behind the top three local peers — Crookesbroom Primary Academy (score 96), St Oswald's CofE Academy (84), and Arksey Primary School (83) — but it still falls within the top half of schools nationally, at the 45th percentile. The school is led by headteacher Jo Potts and has no religious character. It is a popular choice for local families: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 35 first-preference applications for just 30 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1. 37 applicants per place. That level of demand suggests it holds a solid reputation among parents in the area, even if it is not among the very highest-ranked primaries in Doncaster.
