‘Being the best me I can be!’

We are a busy and friendly school with lots going on. This website aims to give you a taster of the school, as well as providing up to date information for parents, pupils and the wider community.

Birley Spa is a passionate community of life-long learners who strive for excellence. We are inspired by each other’s achievement and success. We are constantly developing and updating our resources and curriculum to offer our pupils the best opportunities possible to enable them to succeed now and in the future.

Children’s learning and development are at the centre of everything we do, so we develop strong links between home, school and the local community. We hope that you enjoy your visit to our website, and that you find the information you are looking for.
