I am delighted to be leading a team of dedicated staff at Birchwood Junior School. Our school is a vibrant, happy and successful junior school where every child is treated as a unique individual. We cherish each child’s talents and strive to ensure that their academic, social, spiritual and moral education is nurtured.

Our pursuit of excellence in teaching and enjoyment of learning is at the heart of all that we do. We believe that children learn best when they are excited by being actively involved in and have a clear purpose for their learning. Our curriculum emphasises the key skills in Maths, English & Science, whilst also facilitating teaching through topics which teach key skills and knowledge across the foundation subject areas whilst stimulating the children’s thinking skills and encouraging them to widen their educational knowledge and become independent learners.  

We aim to ensure that our school evolves with the ever-changing world in which we live, meaning that our young people are prepared for their future and the increasing demands of today’s society.

Our provision for extra-curricular activities including educational visits, after school clubs and visiting speakers helps our children develop skills for life, enjoy learning and achieve to the very best of their ability. 

Our strong working partnerships with parents, our high expectations and aspirations for all children and our clear and consistent behaviour management, alongside our inviting environment creates an ethos where every child can learn and flourish. 

If you would like to talk to me, have any comments, suggestions or queries, please do not hesitate to pop and chat to me informally at the gate or around school. Alternatively, if you would like to organise a time to meet me privately, please contact the school office on 01522 800971 who will be happy to arrange an appointment.

Our children grow and learn together with aspirational goals which enable them to be the best they can be. Our vision to Inspire and Grow Every day, runs through everything that we do. I feel privileged to be the Headteacher of the Junior School, leading this journey to success.
