About the school
Birchfield is a co-educational, boarding and day preparatory school for children aged 4 to 13 with a special atmosphere that sets it apart from many good prep schools.
An impressive academic record, weekly boarding, sporting successes, a fine musical reputation and an excellent Learning Enhancement team are just some of the reasons why you should visit Birchfield when thinking about independent education for your children. Birchfield has no entrance examination and the school has an excellent reputation for getting pupils into their first-choice senior schools at 11+ and 13+. Birchfield has no path beaten to any particular senior school, instead it works with parents and offers help and guidance to find the best school for each individual child.
Birchfield Prepcare, the day care facility for children aged from 6 weeks to 4 years old (managed by Prepcare LLP) is adjacent to the school. This allows the opportunity for continuity of education on one site from 0 to 13.
Set in acres of beautiful Shropshire countryside Birchfield is close to the village of Albrighton, yet with excellent transport links from both Telford and Wolverhampton, being only a few minutes from the A41 and Junction 3 of the M54. If you want the best for your child in this ever-competitive and dynamic world, Birchfield extends a warm welcome to you.
