Pupils are happy and secure at this school. Most have experienced difficulties with their learning in the past. They see Birchwood School as a fresh start. Pupils feel welcome from the moment that they join the school. They like their bright, spacious classrooms and enjoy relaxing in the attractive grounds outdoors. They especially love the visits that they receive from the school’s therapy dog, Loki. Leaders and staff want pupils to succeed. Pupils try to live up to these high expectations. The relationships between pupils and staff are respectful and positive. Pupils listen carefully to adults. They get on with their work and complete their tasks. This helps pupils to move forward in their learning. There are simple rules and routines for pupils to follow. For example, pupils know that they must not leave the classroom without an adult. Pupils follow these rules well. Classrooms and corridors are calm and orderly. Leaders have clear procedures in place to respond swiftly to any bullying should it ever occur. Pupils feel safe at school. Pupils take part in a range of activities for their personal development. For example, they receive useful advice about possible careers. They also learn how to be independent. All of these experiences help pupils to develop independence in preparation for life beyond school.

2015 GCSE RESULTSImportant information for parents
Due to number of reforms to GSCE reporting introduced by the government in 2014, such as the exclusion of iGCSE examination results, the official school performance data may not accurately report a school’s full results. For more information, please see About and refer to the section, ‘Why does a school show 0% on its GSCE data dial? In many affected cases, the Average Point Score will also display LOW SCORE as points for iGCSEs and resits are not included.
Schools can upload their full GCSE results by registering for a School Noticeboard. All school results data will be verified.
