Enjoy a guided tour, learn about our curriculum and talk to teachers and staff.
I would like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome you to our website, where you will find information about our academy and be able to see the wonderful events and work taking place at Birley.
I am enormously proud to be the Headteacher at Birley Primary Academy. We are a mainstream three-form primary school – situated in south-east Sheffield – that is committed to inclusive education and meeting the needs of all the children in our care.
We are a happy and positive educational setting where diversity is truly celebrated. This school is a special place where we are very ambitious for all of our pupils. We have a team of talented, hardworking and committed staff who are dedicated to doing the very best for all children.
Our parents and carers are more than welcome to speak to any member of the Senior Leadership Team or any member of our Safeguarding and Inclusion team should they have any questions or concerns through calling the office, who will happily arrange this. Alternatively, you can email any enquiries to enquiries@birleyprimaryacademy.co.uk and this will be forwarded to the relevant personnel.
Alternatively, if you are considering choosing Birley Primary Academy to be the right setting for your child’s education, you are more than welcome to take the opportunity to visit us and experience the inspiring and positive atmosphere here for yourself. Just call the office to make an appointment and a member of our team would be delighted to show you around.
Regards,
Dawn McAughey

💛🌟 Hello Yellow at Birley Primary Academy! 🌟💛
Today, we joined in with Hello Yellow to raise awareness of mental health and remind our children that it’s okay to talk about how we feel. 💛
Our children were invited to wear a yellow item to brighten up the school and took part in activities exploring different feelings, understanding our emotions and identifying trusted people we can talk to when we’re having one of those days that feels a little harder than others. 💬💛
We know that everyone has difficult days sometimes, and it’s important that our children understand that no feeling is too big to talk about and nobody has to face things alone. Whether it’s a friend, a family member or a trusted adult in school, there is always someone who will listen. 🫶
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped us spread a little sunshine while sharing such an important message. ☀️
💛 It’s okay not to be okay. Let’s keep talking, listening and looking out for one another. 💛

Our September walking champions have been spotted receiving their well-deserved badges! 🏅 We’ve already seen some eager adventurers proudly wearing their shiny rewards around school. 🌟
🏆 And we have some amazing news to share!
In September, Birley Primary Academy ranked 214th out of 1,104 schools nationwide and an incredible 14th out of 36 local schools! 👏🌍
A huge WELL DONE to everyone who has been helping us to increase our active travel and get more steps in on the journey to and from school. Every journey counts! 👣💙
🎉 A special congratulations to 2KW! 🎉
2KW came FIRST across the whole academy for their dedication to active travel and will be looking after our Walking to School mascot throughout October! 🏆🧸
If you didn’t receive a badge this month, don’t worry! There’s always next month! 😊
Why not talk as a family about how you could get a few extra steps in before school? You could:
🚶 Park a couple of roads away
👣 Walk a little further
🚲 Get those bikes or scooters out
🌳 Take a different route to school
It all helps, and every step makes a difference! 💪👣
Can we climb even higher in October? 🌟
