Birchfield Primary School has been rated as ‘Good’ in all areas following an inspection which took place this Autumn. The report praises the staff at Birchfield who “build caring and positive relationships with children as soon as children join early years”.
In the report, Inspectors were impressed with the high expectations of both staff and pupils, who were described as ‘happy and confident’ individuals. The strengths of teaching and curriculum were clear with the report noting that ‘Pupils achieve well in English, mathematics and science because these subjects are structured and taught well’.
The Prince Albert Community Trust are deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II.

We express our deepest sympathies to The Royal Family and to our nation.

As a child, I didn’t have many books. Well, I had one book that I bought for 60p when I was 7 or 8. I loved reading though and my weekly trips to Ward End Library were an absolute treat. It felt a magical place where I spent many an hour lost in books. It is where my lifelong love of fantasy began, I devoured anything with witches, wizards, dragons and heroic quests.
