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

Mrs Susan Davis
Head Teacher

    IET (MAT) Decision
    15th July, 2025 Dear Parents and Carers, I am writing to let you know that, after much consideration, our Governors have decided that we will not proceed with the formation of Industrious Education Trust. This means our school will not become an academy and will remain as a Kirklees local authority, maintained school. All five schools involved have made the same decision: - Ashbrow School - Birkby Junior School - Dalton School - Mill Lane Primary School - Moldgreen Community Primary School The decision has not been taken lightly and is based on a thorough due diligence process which raised some concerns about the scale and capacity of the proposed trust. We are looking forward to the start of the new term and are committed to working in partnership with our local authority. As always, thank you for your support throughout this process. Susan Davis Head Teacher

    Neurodiversity Project in School
    Dear parents and carers, We are delighted to let you know that we have chosen to take part in a new project focused on neurodiversity. The project is called Partnerships for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS). The project will further strengthen our provision for pupils with special educational needs. The PINS Project is funded by NHS England and the Department for Education and is being delivered across West Yorkshire. This is the second PINS Project to take place in Kirklees. 10 schools have been selected to take part, including Birkby Junior School. The aim of the PINS Project is to improve the school experience for children with additional needs including those with (or suspected to have) Autism and/or ADHD. The key aims of the project are to: • Help shape whole school SEND provision • Provide early interventions in school • Skill up school staff • Help to strengthen partnerships between schools and parent carers The attached letter tells you more about the project. As part of the project, we are keen to hear from our parents and carers. There is a short survey for you to complete - the link and QR code for the survey is in the letter. The survey should only take a few minutes - thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the survey. Your views are very important and will help us shape the project over the next few months. Thank you for your support, Kind regards, Mrs E Mills Assistant Head Teacher

    Eid-Ul-Adha celebrations
    Dear Parent/Carer, Eid celebrations are on the horizon and we know that Eid-Ul-Adha falls on Friday 6th June. We understand that some children will be absent from school, on this day, to celebrate Eid with their families – this absence will be recorded as Religious Observance. May we remind you that you are allowed up to 3 days off in total for religious observance during any academic year. This also includes time for Eid-Ul-Fitr, which fell in the Spring Term. Everyone at Birkby Junior School would like to wish you ‘Eid Mubarak’. Yours Sincerely, Mrs S Davis
