Belong, Motivate, Succeed

Our Vision

Every student leaves Birchensale with the skills, motivation and personal qualities to enable lifelong success.

The vision of our school is embodied in the words “Belong, Motivate, Succeed”. We believe in the value of every child who enters our doors. We strive to ensure that everyone feels they belong in our school community; happy, valued and respected. We lay the foundations of a love of learning that will motivate children, giving them a clear sense of purpose, resilience and enthusiasm for the rest of their lives. We recognise that every Birchensale pupil deserves the best and we aim to help them succeed by reaching their potential in every area of school life – academic, social, personal, physical and spiritual.  We do this by ensuring that each child has access to an inclusive curriculum, which allows individuals the scope to explore their talents, stretches the most able and supports them when needed.

Our high expectations mean we are continually striving to improve and as we approach the challenges of the learning journey together.
