Headteacher’s Welcome

Welcome to Birchills Church of England Community Academy. We are a vibrant and inclusive academy serving a wonderfully diverse community in the heart of Walsall. Whether you are a prospective parent, a member of our local community, or simply curious to learn more about us, we hope our website gives you a flavour of life at Birchills — but the best way to experience it is to visit us in person, where you will always receive a warm welcome.

At Birchills, we believe every child is unique and has something special to offer. Our aim is to provide an inspiring education that nurtures curiosity, creativity and confidence, enabling each child to flourish both academically and personally. We are incredibly proud of our modern facilities, including well-resourced classrooms, dedicated learning areas and outdoor spaces that enrich every child’s experience.

As a Church of England academy, our Christian values of Respect, Friendship, Service, Justice, Perseverance and Forgiveness are at the heart of everything we do. They guide our relationships, shape our curriculum, and help our children grow into kind, resilient and responsible individuals.

We are part of St Chad’s Academies Trust, and work in partnership to ensure that all our pupils receive the highest quality education. Visitors often comment on the warm, family atmosphere at Birchills — a place where children feel safe, happy and valued.

We are immensely proud of our pupils, staff and community, and warmly invite you to visit us to see first-hand what makes Birchills Church of England Community Academy such a special place to learn and grow.
