Birchwood Community High School

School Details

Birchwood Community High School, A Business and Enterprise College, Leading Edge and Vocational School

This school opened in 1985 as a purpose built 11-16 mixed comprehensive and since that time has established itself as a very successful school at the heart of its community. Birchwood High School has become key to providing an educated and skilled workforce to suit the local business community.

The philosophy of the school is that each learner is treated as an individual with their own needs, strengths and areas for development. The school aims to encourage every child to seek excellence in all that they do, whilst providing the support and guidance they need to maximise their potential. We have a good track record for nurturing gifted and talented learners in a range of subject areas as well as learners with special needs. The school has a lift and is fully equipped to accommodate learners who have physical disabilities.

We work in close collaboration with primary colleagues, the staff of Priestley College and other colleges to ensure continuity throughout learners' education. Our induction programme aims to ensure that new learners settle in quickly and have a happy and confident start at the High School.

A real strength of our school is the very good and open relationships enjoyed with parents and carers to ensure learners are given maximum support. We are fortunate in the quality and commitment of our Governing Body and the links with local residents and the business community.
