Birstall Primary Academy is a small school, right at the heart of the community and we pride ourselves on the rapid improvements that have been made in the last few years. Our growing reputation has meant that numbers have risen dramatically over recent years – a testament to our committed and energetic staff team and high expectations.

Children are at the heart of everything we do. From decisions about the curriculum: they have helped shape the topics they are taught and told us what they find interesting; to decisions about the effectiveness of our school: they recognised the need to support others both locally and globally through fundraising activities as they are aware of how fortunate we are in comparison to so many other people around the world. Allowing our children to have their say is fundamental to the ethos of the school and one of the reasons our children feel so happy and valued.
