At Birdwell School, children come first.  We are a learning organisation that seeks to develop children’s potential in order to achieve the highest possible standards.  Our culture of enjoyment, excellence and fun aims to develop innovation, experimentation and independence.  At Birdwell we believe in a commitment to ‘learning for life’ and seek to develop highly motivated staff who investigate excellent practice to improve the achievements of all.  We encourage everyone to respect themselves, school and other people. With our community, we will ensure that children have opportunities to develop responsible and caring attitudes through confidence building and challenging learning experiences.
