As a school, we understand young people only get one chance to experience school-life and our aim is very simple: to support them to grow into confident and independent young people with high aspirations, secure knowledge and kind hearts.
Our school is a very special community that we are incredibly proud of: it is made up of 900 students (11-16), supportive parents, forward-thinking governors, as well as an inspirational and talented body of staff who are fully committed to delivering a broad and balanced curriculum for all. Our school is a safe, caring and happy place for our students and they enjoy attending lessons. We take every opportunity to praise and celebrate their successes with them. As well as having every student’s full academic potential and high standards of learning at the forefront of our practice, we also recognise the importance of encouraging our students to pursue all of their interests. They are given many opportunities to develop their leadership skills (subject leaders, school council, sports leaders, anti-bullying ambassadors) and we are lucky that our staff are very dedicated, giving up their own time to provide a wide range of extra- curricular activities before and after school.
‘The best things about Birchwood Community High School is it’s easy to make new friends and the lessons are fun.’ Year 7 student
