"Great School with Room for Improvement"

My child attended Birley Spa Primary Academy for 3 years and had a great experience overall. The school's emphasis on reading and literacy has really paid off and my child is now a confident reader. However, I did find the lunchtime provision to be a bit limited and would have liked to see more options for special diets.
