Welcome from the Principal

Welcome to Birches Head Academy. As one of the most improved schools in the City, I am proud of our students and their many achievements.

This summer our students celebrated academic success; a just reward for their hard work and determination to succeed. This determination, alongside the dedication of talented and inspirational staff, enabled us to see an overall increase in the proportion of grades at grade 4 and above and all of our class of 2022 settled into their new phase of learning or employment.

Our most recent Ofsted Inspection described us as a ‘rapidly improving Academy’ and this year’s results demonstrate that we have built a firm foundation on which to grow. This is a new and exciting chapter in the school’s history. Ofsted also recognised our strong pastoral care. This individual level of care is made possible due to our strong pastoral system with dedicated Pastoral Leaders. Our developing academic success is also a result of the values we instil in our students; to develop confidence, resilience, self-respect and a sense of responsibility. We actively encourage our children to celebrate success and foster a sense of pride in themselves and the school.

Katie Dixon, Principal
