Welcome from the Principal

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Birches Head Academy (BHA), part of The Frank Field Education Trust, where our collective vision is that “Social Justice can be achieved through Excellence in Education”.

I am proud and privileged to be Principal of our caring, dynamic and inclusive Academy, which is located at the heart of our community in the creative city of Stoke-on-Trent, where we instil into our pupils a desire to “Be More” and in doing so enable them to make a real difference to our local community and beyond.

As a parent myself, I understand that we want our children to feel safe, happy and challenged to be successful in school. Our pupils deserve the very best and my benchmark as a leader is clear; if it wouldn’t be good enough for my own two children, then it isn’t good enough for our children here at BHA.

Our motto at BHA is simply “Aspire to Be More” and we have developed a knowledge rich curriculum that will enable our pupils to acquire a set of knowledge, skills and behaviours that will enable them to lead a choice-filled life, guided by a clear moral compass.

Mr P. Masher, Principal

Frank Field Education Trust

The Frank Field Education Trust believes that social justice can only be achieved when all barriers to success have been removed. The Trust formed with the explicit intention of delivering world-class education through academic excellence, a rich curriculum and wider opportunities for all children.
