Headteacher’s Welcome Message

We wish you a very warm welcome to the Birkwood Primary School website and hope that by visiting us, you will get a picture of our vision, aims and the values we uphold – The Birkwood Way.

It is a huge honour for me to write as Headteacher of our lovely school. We are striving to deliver an exciting knowledge-based curriculum which produces leaders, young people who can work both in a team and independently and crucially opt to ‘do the right thing.’ This is encapsulated by ‘The Birkwood Way’ – the centre of our values, vision and every day practice.

We seek to develop the whole child, harnessing and celebrating each of their unique talents, strengths and personalities. Exciting opportunities enable this both inside and outside of the classroom.

Our high quality learning environments include a brand new library, restocked regularly with recommended and chosen reads and a purpose built children's kitchen, so that they can cook as part of their learning in DT, Science, Maths and Literacy.   Thanks to Big Lottery Grant and Tesco ‘Bags for Help’ funding, we also have a community and sensory garden area where children grow vegetables, fruit, flowers and herbs.  In addition, we have a potting shed and poly tunnel, thanks to Community First Grant funding.  

Our strong and committed Governing Body have made the decision to extend Foundation Stage. We have transformed our excellent facilities with 2 remodelled indoor areas as well as developing excellent outdoor facilities for our youngest children.

At Birkwood, we recognise and value the vital contributions that our parents, families and wider community make in the education of our children.  Birkwood is truly a family and we are very proud of our #IncredibleCommunity. We engage actively with the local, wider and global community.

With best wishes,

Mr. Daniel Wood
Headteacher
