General information

Headteacher: Anwar Teladia.

Background: Birchfield Independent Girls' School is a well-established Muslim school situated in Aston, Birmingham. There are five classrooms which are adequate for the numbers of pupils currently in each class and are suitably heated and ventilated. There is a well-equipped science laboratory, specialist ICT room; kitchen is used for domestic science lessons, library, dining room and a hall for daily prayers, assembly and some games lessons. There is a medical room with a suitable bed.The school provides extra-curricular activities, which bring together people from different social backgrounds. The school recently hosted a conference for community cohesion. .

Inspection: December 2004: 'Birchfield Independent Girls' School is a good school. Its distinctive Islamic ethos provides pupils with well-judged opportunities to learn about their faith and attain good standards across a generally broad curriculum. The provision for girls' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is very good and is a particular strength of the school. The girls are extremely well behaved and effective learners. The overall quality of the teaching is good; teachers use a suitable range of teaching styles and the girls are encouraged to think for themselves. They clearly enjoy being at school and relationships at all levels are excellent. Lessons are planned, managed and organised well for most subjects. These are major contributory factors to the good progress the girls make. However the planning and teaching of art, games and information and communication technology (ICT) is not as strong. The management is thoughtful and committed to continuous improvement for the benefit of the girls' learning and personal development.'
