About Birchfields Primary School

Birchfields is a large (625 pupils) and effective three-form entry primary school and nursery on an extensive site in south Manchester.
Nearly 2/3 of our children have a first language other than English, including Urdu, Bengali and Somali, and the school’s annual budget is just over £4m. Our current PAN is 720 and over 50% of our children are eligible to receive free school meals. We’ve served our multicultural and diverse neighbourhood for nearly a century, and we are excited about what the future holds for our close-knit and supportive school community.

We are proud of our welcoming, busy, happy school, where children feel secure and behaviour is impeccable. We hope that our Birchfields children will become happy, confident adults who make a positive contribution to the lives of others. We want our children to be team players who are articulate, courageous, tenacious, inquisitive and creative. All children have opportunities to take responsibility, build their self-esteem and develop their self-confidence. Success is promoted and progress and achievement are celebrated regularly with our whole school community.

Equality, respect, resilience, honesty, good health and kindness are at the core of everything we do at Birchfields. We are an inclusive school, where all are given equality of opportunity regardless of gender, special needs, sexual orientation, religion, disability or race. Our recent Ofsted report (October 2024) highlights the outstanding behaviour and attitude of our children, as well as the ‘harmonious atmosphere’ throughout the school. Moreover, staff told inspectors that they felt ‘lucky to work at the school’ and that ‘they feel valued’.
