Birches Green Junior School was established in 1929 and is one of the oldest schools in Erdington, celebrating its eightieth birthday in 2009.
We are proud of our rich history but also celebrate the developments and opportunities that we can provide for our children in the 21st Century, as we look to build on the successes recognised in our 2010 Ofsted Report:
. . . in a school that is a happy and caring place where pupils enjoy coming to school safely.
. . . where good relations between pupils and their teachers and teaching assistants help makes lessons harmonious events that pupils fully enjoy.
. . . via the school council, which has brought new facilities for our pupils to enjoy.
. . . to promote self confidence and to develop the personal and social skills that pupils will require for success at the next stage of their education.
Exciting Times for Birches Green Junior!
Last year Mrs. Jackson linked with teachers in seven other european countries to create a project called 'Folktales as a means of Cultural Connection and Interaction of People Across Europe'.
We are delighted to announce that our project has been awarded a grant by The Lifelong Learning Programme and the European Council. This means that over the next two years our pupils with have the opportunity to link with pupils from Portugal, Germany, Turkey, Italy, Poland, Finland and Bulgaria.
Watch this space for future developments!
