They are fiercely loyal to their school and highly supportive. Birchwood takes pride in our fantastic reputation and strong relationships with our community.

We value our committed staff at all levels, who, as a team, have a significant impact on outcomes for all our pupils. The teachers, highly praised by our Trust for their teaching and commitment, are a professional and hardworking team who are excellently supported by our invaluable Teaching Assistants. Our Lunchtime Supervisors, Site Management, and Administration teams are highly valued and share our determination to drive forward progress. Together, we form a fantastic team that develops, supports, and guides each other to ensure that we achieve the very best for our school community.
