Our Vision
At Birklands Primary School, we strive to be a transformational community where every child thrives academically, socially and personally. We embrace our vital role in shaping futures, ensuring each pupil enjoys a rich, rewarding education that prepares them confidently for the next stage of learning and for life beyond school.
Our Mission
At our school, we seek to raise aspirations by giving every child a broad range of exciting, meaningful experiences that open their eyes to what is possible and deepen their love of learning. We want our pupils to be eager to learn, inspired by new ideas and appreciative of the opportunities they encounter.
We encourage children to celebrate their own heritage, connect with others and develop a genuine love of diversity. By nurturing curiosity about the world and encouraging care for the environment and for each other, we help our pupils grow into thoughtful, responsible global citizens.
We endeavour to give children rich, authentic opportunities for talk and discussion, helping them grow into confident communicators with strong oracy skills that supports future learning and lifelong success.
