Upperwood Academy (formerly Darfield Upperwood Primary School and Darfield Upperwood Academy) is a 4–11 primary school with academy status located in Darfield, Barnsley, England. First opened on 5 November 1973,[1] it is situated in an old mining community with changing patterns of employment. Most of the around 260 pupils are White British with a small number of settled Gypsy/Roma pupils on the roll.[2] Its absence rate of 3.6% is notably better than the national average of 5.3%.[3] Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council described it as "a good school with a number of outstanding features".[4]
