Following current Government guidance, school remains closed to most pupils. Children should login to find their home learning for the week, and don't forget each class has a daily zoom meeting at 9am!

Head Teacher's Welcome

Welcome to our new school website. We are a large multicultural Junior School near the centre of Huddersfield.  At Birkby Junior School we work hard to provide a creative, enjoyable and rewarding learning experience for each child in an inclusive, secure and stimulating learning environment.

We are proud of our school community and celebrate the rich and diverse backgrounds of all our pupils.

The Staff and the Governing Body at Birkby Junior School are committed to working together to give children the academic and life skills they will need to be successful.

We care about our Parents and Carers, we welcome your involvement and we look for your support in ensuring good attendance, good behaviour and hard work from your children. We operate an open-door policy and welcome you into the school anytime you would like to talk.  Hopefully you can find all the information you need on our website but if you can’t please feel free to call into school. We will be happy to help you and answer any further questions you may have.

Thank you

I do understand that with three classes closed, the situation can be quite confusing. School is following advice from Public Health England re self isolation and each class has been asked to isolate until it is safe for them to return to school; Class 4R can return to school on Friday 20th November Class 6I can return to school on Monday 23rd November Class 5A can return to school on Monday 23rd November I know that during the National Lockdown, families and school are working very hard to keep safe and follow the government's guidance during this difficult period. I wanted to reassure you that school is following all local and national guidance and regularly reviews it's COVID risk assessment, which is attached to this message. Remote learning is in place for all three classes. All children have a home learning book and access daily lessons and short instructional teaching videos on school's website. As always, if you have any questions please contact either the school office. Kind regards,

    Use of Face Masks on the Playground
    Dear Parents and Carers, Following the recent Government announcement that there will be a national lockdown from Thursday 5th November, we have reviewed our risk assessment in school. We have also spoken to a number of parents about our playground and arrangements for the beginning and the end of the day. As you know, both school and our community are working hard to keep our children, parents and staff safe. As such, we are now asking all parents to wear a mask if they come onto the school playground. Staff will also wear a mask if they are supervising gates or are speaking to parents when outside. Thank you for your help with this in these difficult times. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow morning.

    IMPORTANT MEDICAL INFORMATION
    Dear Parents and Carers, Sadly we have had a medical incident in school today. As you know, some of our pupils have severe nut allergies. One of these pupils was sitting next to a child with a packed lunch from home. This pupil had a Nutella type chocolate spread in their sandwich. Proximity to this sandwich caused an allergic reaction which was distressing for the pupil and meant school staff had to administer emergency medication. Please can I ask that you ensure all packed lunches contain NO nut products, such as Nutella type chocolate spread or certain cereal bars. This will help us to keep everyone safe and well. Lunchtime staff will remain vigilant and, if pupils accidently bring products which may contain nuts, staff will keep this food in a safe place until the end of the day and return it to parents. Please be reassured that children will not go hungry! Our school cook will make sure they have something else to eat. Thank you for your cooperation and support with this important matter. Kind Regards,

    Road Safety and Walking to School
    Dear Parents and Carers, This year our School Council will be involved in a road safety project, encouraging children and families to walk to school. We know that parking, congestion and pollution are a big concern in the local area and our School Council will be looking at ways to promote and encourage walking to school. As part of our road safety work, school successfully bid in for Police and Crime Commissioner funding to help us buy a visi vest for every child in school. The good news is that our bid was successful! The visi vests will help to keep children safe on their journey to school - particularly important as we go into Winter and the mornings and afternoons become darker. Your child will come home with a visi vest today that will belong to them. Please encourage your child to wear their vest on their walk to school each morning. They will, of course, then wear them to walk home at the end of the day. Please would you write your child's name and class inside their visi vest so it doesn't get lost. Thank you for your support with this exciting and important initiative.
