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.

The session began with a fun and engaging warm-up, followed by activities to develop throwing and catching skills. To finish, the children took part in an exciting game of rounders, putting everything they had learned into practice!
Both our Year 5 pupils and the Year 9 Sports Leaders were outstanding, showing great enthusiasm, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout.
Well done to everyone involved – a brilliant experience all round! 👏

Birley Primary Academy hosted its annual Aspire Day yesterday, welcoming an incredible range of visitors from across the community and beyond 🌟
Pupils had the opportunity to hear directly from professionals including medical experts, musicians, journalists, councillors and footballers, gaining real insight into a wide range of careers and the skills needed to succeed. The day was filled with inspiring talks, interactive experiences, and moments that helped bring different professions to life.
A real highlight was a special visit from Sheffield Wednesday legend Barry Bannan⚽️, who spoke to Key Stage 2 pupils about life as a professional footballer and the dedication it takes to perform at the highest level. And of course… the children gave him a very enthusiastic welcome with a chant of “We’ve got Bannan, Barry Bannan!” 💙
Dawn McAughey, Headteacher at Birley Primary Academy, said:
“It was fantastic to welcome so many visitors from our local community to share their experiences with our pupils – we are so grateful for everyone’s time.”
Barry Bannan, Sheffield Wednesday Club legend, said:
“It was fantastic visiting Birley Primary Academy and to be part of their Aspire Day. The school’s ethos really stood out, and the children were polite, respectful and a credit to their community.”
Aspire Day continues to play an important role in helping pupils explore future pathways, build ambition, and see what is possible.
A huge thank you to all of the visitors who gave their time to make the day such a memorable experience 👏

Love this!!!!!
Yesterday, we proudly hosted our annual Aspire Day, welcoming a fantastic range of visitors from our local community and beyond. Pupils had the opportunity to learn from medical experts, musicians, journalists, councillors, and footballers, with even more special visits planned from The Lord Mayor and a Member of Parliament tomorrow.
Our visitors delivered engaging and inspiring presentations, sharing their personal career journeys, the skills and qualifications needed for their roles, and what they enjoy most about their work. To bring their careers to life, many also introduced pupils to real equipment used in their professions, creating hands-on experiences that made the day even more interactive and memorable.
These valuable opportunities help our pupils explore different pathways and spark ambitions for the future.
A huge thank you to all of our volunteers who generously gave their time to support the academy in delivering such a fantastic event—we truly appreciate your contribution! 👏
