Enjoy a guided tour, learn about our curriculum and talk to teachers and staff.
I would like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome you to our website, where you will find information about our academy and be able to see the wonderful events and work taking place at Birley.
I am enormously proud to be the Headteacher at Birley Primary Academy. We are a mainstream three-form primary school – situated in south-east Sheffield – that is committed to inclusive education and meeting the needs of all the children in our care.
We are a happy and positive educational setting where diversity is truly celebrated. This school is a special place where we are very ambitious for all of our pupils. We have a team of talented, hardworking and committed staff who are dedicated to doing the very best for all children.
Our parents and carers are more than welcome to speak to any member of the Senior Leadership Team or any member of our Safeguarding and Inclusion team should they have any questions or concerns through calling the office, who will happily arrange this. Alternatively, you can email any enquiries to enquiries@birleyprimaryacademy.co.uk and this will be forwarded to the relevant personnel.
Alternatively, if you are considering choosing Birley Primary Academy to be the right setting for your child’s education, you are more than welcome to take the opportunity to visit us and experience the inspiring and positive atmosphere here for yourself. Just call the office to make an appointment and a member of our team would be delighted to show you around.
Regards,
Dawn McAughey

We were thrilled to welcome local artist Pete McKee to Birley Primary Academy where he spent time with pupils across the school to explore his iconic style and inspire their own creativity and works of art.

📚✨ A Visit from Our Patron of Reading! ✨📚
Over the last week, we were delighted to welcome the wonderful Gareth Baker Children's Author and Patron of Reading back to Birley Primary Academy for the first time this academic year! 🎉
Gareth spent two fantastic days working with our Year 5 children as part of their learning all about The Tudors. 👑🏰
But this is no ordinary history project! Over the coming weeks, our Year 5 pupils are working together as a year group to write, create and publish their very own book inspired by one of the most exciting periods in British history! 📖✍️
We are incredibly excited to see their creativity, historical knowledge and writing skills come together to produce something truly special. We can't wait to share the finished book with you all when the time comes! 🤩
A huge thank you to Gareth for inspiring our young writers and helping to bring history to life at Birley! 💙🧡❤️

✨ Exciting Community Links! ✨
Over this half term, we have been beginning to establish links with Christ Church Hackenthorpe, and we are really excited about the opportunities and events we have planned together in the run-up to Christmas and beyond! 🎄🤝
Before this though, we wanted to share that Christ Church are hosting a fantastic Light Party at the start of the half-term holiday and they would love to welcome anyone who would like to come along and join in the fun! Details are below. 💡🎉
We are really looking forward to building these relationships and creating some wonderful opportunities for our children, families and wider community to come together.
Keep your eyes peeled for more exciting events soon! 👀✨

🦢 A VERY UNEXPECTED VISITOR AT BIRLEY! 🦢😂
We’ve had all sorts of visitors at Birley Primary Academy over the years, but this morning’s arrival was definitely one of our more quackers ones! 🤣
A swan decided to wander through our school gates, clearly thinking it was time to enrol for the new school year! 🏫🦢
We’re not sure whether it was looking for the headteacher, checking out our facilities or simply hoping to get a place in the school pond! 😂
Thankfully, it didn’t cause too much of a flap and quickly flew away, although we may need to rethink our admissions policy if this is going to become a regular occurrence! 😉
We pride ourselves on being a welcoming academy, but this really is taking “everyone is welcome at Birley” to a whole new level! 💙🧡❤️
Have a lovely day, everyone, and keep your eyes peeled for any more unexpected visitors! 👀🦢
