"Mixed Experience"

We have been at Birchfields Primary for a few years now, and while the school has many strengths, we have had some issues with communication and organisation. The staff are generally lovely, but we have had problems getting timely information about school events.

"Excellent School, Friendly Staff"

My child attended Birchfields Primary for 7 years and had a wonderful time. The school's emphasis on core values such as equality, respect, and kindness has stayed with them. The staff were always approachable and willing to help.
