Birches Head Academy has recently become part of the Frank Field Education Trust and we work collaboratively with others in our FFET family, allowing our students and staff many opportunities to develop. This is embodied in the FFET vision: ‘Social Justice through Excellence in Education’ and in the Academy motto: ‘Aspire to be More’.

Our vision is to provide:

  • An exceptional academic education to all children (Intellectual Capital)
  • A values led approach to education for every child (Cultural Capital)
  • The right environment for every child to flourish by building learning communities in partnership with parents and carers (Social Capital)


Achieving these commitments will ensure that, when pupils leave the Academy, they are ready for the next step in their journey; leaving with the necessary skills and knowledge, and the desire to serve others, to become the next generation of leaders.

Our determination to do this, in its fullest sense, resonates with our Academy motto inspired by the words of Oscar Romero “Aspire to be More”. We have very high aspirations for the young people at Birches Head Academy.

We believe strongly in the power of high expectations. We understand that each student has their own potential, which we are determined to help fulfil through academic study and wider enrichment. All students will take part in exciting learning, both inside and outside the classroom, so they can make rapid and sustained progress.

Students at Birches Head Academy benefit from modern learning spaces designed to help them succeed. Classrooms are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to enable all students to meet the demands of the curriculum.

The curriculum at Birches Head prepares students for the challenges ahead. We strive to provide excellent teaching and expect the highest standards of behaviour at all times. Students are encouraged to become independent learners through a positive culture where hard work, motivation and resilience are valued and rewarded. We encourage students to reflect on their learning, and to overcome barriers by developing their problem-solving skills and ability to work with others. Our students are encouraged to question, discuss and review their learning through a variety of teaching styles to suit their different interests and ways of learning.

Our students are set aspirational targets, which challenge them to maximise their potential. Rigorous and regular monitoring of students’ progress assists in meeting these challenges and keeps parents engaged in the all-important combination of home and school support.

If you feel you can make a contribution to this important enterprise and help our children to be the best that they can be, then I look forward to receiving your application.
