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

    Acceptable Use Policy
    Dear Parents/Carers At the beginning of every school year, teachers read through the Acceptable Use Policy with the children, which supports the children to use technology responsibly and safely within school. Each child signs the policy to confirm that they have read and understood it. Please find the policy attached for your reference, as you might find it useful to follow at home. Thank you for your support. Hannah Mitchell (Year 3 Teacher and Computing Lead) H.Mitchell

    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
