Birchfield School

Wolverhampton, Shropshire, West Midlands · WV7 3AF

Birchfield is a small Church of England preparatory school for boys and girls aged 4 to 13, with around 191 pupils on its roll. Its intimate scale is one of its defining features, allowing staff to know each child well across a relatively compact community. The Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded the school its highest grade of "excellent", a judgement that extended to pupils' personal development, and the school met all compliance standards. Under the leadership of Mrs Amy Jones, it offers an unusually thorough grounding before children move on at age 13.
