Birkby Junior School

We are a large, 5 form entry, multicultural Junior School near the centre of Huddersfield.  At Birkby Junior School we work hard to provide a creative, enjoyable and rewarding learning experience for each child in an inclusive, secure and stimulating learning environment. We are proud of our school community and celebrate the rich and diverse backgrounds of all our pupils. The Staff and the Governing Body at Birkby Junior School are committed to working together to give children the academic and life skills they will need to be successful. We are a wheelchair accessible school.

Birkby Junior School aims to create a secure, accepting, collaborative and stimulating school community in which everyone is valued and all pupils can achieve their best. Inclusion permeates every aspect of school life to increase learning and participation for all pupils. Particular attention is paid to the provision made for different groups of pupils within school who may be vulnerable, for example because of their attainment, gender, ethnicity or background. All pupils are entitled to a broad, balanced and challenging curriculum. This includes pupils who have SEN or disabilities, those for whom English is not their first language and those who are gifted or talented. By setting suitable learning challenges, responding to pupils’ diverse needs and overcoming potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of pupils Birkby Junior School strives to ensure that all pupils learn and make good or better progress.
