Birch Copse aims to provide a safe, respectful and supportive learning environment that enables learners to feel valued and reach their potential within a happy, healthy and caring community. All children are encouraged to enjoy learning and experience a creative and stimulating curriculum to help them become confident and independent learners.
We aim to create an environment where all achievements and talents are recognised, including high social standards and personal and academic achievements.
Our School Values were created through consultation with children, parents, governors and staff. The values are shared with the children and used for our reward system throughout the school.
