Much Birch is a kind and caring school where parents, pupils and staff celebrate feeling part of a family. Pupils feel safe because of the warm relationships they develop with staff who help them when they find things difficult. Pupils welcome visitors to their school, wearing smiles on their faces and an openness to share the many positive experiences they have. They recognise the importance of being inclusive and know that their school is a nice place to belong because everybody is accepted and noticed. There are many wider opportunities that pupils get to develop their talents and interests. Many enjoy learning craft in the forest school, while others speak effusively about being pupil leaders by representing the school council or acting as buddies to those in younger classes. A focus on the development of pupils’ character has supported them to understand the meaning of the term ‘moral compass’. Many pupils seek to do the right things for the right reasons, showing perseverance and humility while doing so.

Much Birch C of E Primary School is committed to the protection and safety of its pupils and therefore all candidates will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check at Enhanced Level.
