Birchfield School is proudly taking part in the National Year of Reading, strengthening our commitment to inspiring a lifelong love of reading in every pupil. To start our celebration, we had a launch assembly where we got to see our teachers reading in unusual places!
The Reception children thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the Botanical Gardens. They were highly engaged throughout the trip, showing curiosity and excitement as they explored the different plants, trees and outdoor environments.
Our pupil leadership group have been working incredibly hard since being appointed to their roles, and we are incredibly proud of everything they have achieved so far.
Our recent Community Alliance Coffee Morning was a wonderful success, bringing parents together to share their experiences, connect with local services, and enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Throughout the morning, parents discussed the issues that matter most to them—ranging from family wellbeing to community support—and highlighted key areas where additional guidance would make a difference in their everyday lives.
We were delighted to be joined by Compass, a mental health charity, New Hope Global, and Home Start, all of whom offered invaluable support.
Compass shared practical, easy-to-use strategies to help parents promote positive emotional wellbeing at home.
Home Start provided expert housing advice, answering questions and signposting families to further help where needed.
Beyond the information and advice, the event also offered something just as important: the chance for parents to relax, chat with one another, and build new friendships. Seeing families enjoy themselves and form new connections truly highlighted the value of coming together as a community.
Thank you to everyone who attended and to our partner organisations for their support. We look forward to hosting more events that bring our community even closer.
From the 8th to 10th October 2025, a group of excited Year 6 pupils embarked on a memorable three-day residential trip to Ullswater in the stunning Lake District. From the moment they arrived on 8th October until they returned on the 10th, the children embraced every adventure with enthusiasm and teamwork.
On Tuesday 30th September, our school had the honour of welcoming the Lord Mayor for a very special assembly to celebrate the appointment of our pupil leaders. The event was a proud moment for all involved, as certificates were formally presented to our newly appointed School Councillors, Prefects, and our Head Boy and Head Girl.
On Thursday 11th September, Eesa Amjid (player for England Squad and West Bromwich Albion blind football squad) visited Birchfield Primary.
Our recent residential trip to Preston Montford was an unforgettable adventure packed with learning and discovery!
