"With God all things are possible. We are all God's children." – Matthew 19:26

Where Every Voice Matters, Every Child Flourishes

At Birchills Church of England Community Academy, we don't just teach – we transform lives. We are a beacon within our community, and we're looking for passionate educators who want to be part of something truly special.

Why Birchills?

Be the Voice for Those Who Need One

Join a team of true believers who demand the best for, and of, every pupil. Here, you'll work alongside colleagues who take the time to really know and understand each child's specific needs, especially those with SEND. As Ofsted recognizes, we are 'the voice for those pupils who don't have one' – and that commitment drives everything we do.

A Caring School with the Highest Expectations

Experience the perfect balance: warm relationships and purposeful challenge. Our pupils behave beautifully, not through rigid control, but because they feel genuinely valued. You'll join staff who show great care and kindness while maintaining the highest expectations for learning. From this secure base of care and challenge, watch all pupils flourish and fly.

Modern Facilities, Outstanding Resources

Work in an environment designed for excellence. Our well-resourced classrooms, dedicated learning areas and enriching outdoor spaces provide everything you need to deliver inspiring education. You'll have the tools and support to bring your best ideas to life.

What Makes Us Different?

A Vibrant, Inclusive Community

Birchills serves a wonderfully diverse community of 425 children in the heart of Walsall. We hold hands with families of all faiths and none, creating a respectful, friendly and safe environment where everyone belongs. Through strong links with St. Andrew's Church, the local Mosque, Gurdwara and Mandir, you'll help children understand and celebrate our multi-cultural society while embracing British values, diversity and equality.

Values That Guide Everything

Our six core Christian values – Respect, Friendship, Forgiveness, Perseverance, Justice and Service – aren't just words on a wall. They guide our relationships, shape our curriculum and help children grow into kind, resilient and responsible individuals. Each half term, we dive deep into one value through worship, learning and real-life action, giving you meaningful frameworks to inspire character development.

Partnership and Professional Growth

As part of St Chad's Academies Trust, we benefit from collaborative partnerships that ensure the highest quality education. You'll join a team determined to continually drive up standards, with access to professional development, shared expertise and the collective strength of our trust family.
