History
Birchwood High School was founded when Hadham Hall and The Margaret Dane schools merged in 1991 and the name Birchwood High School was voted for by students from both schools and opened with approximately 450 students; it now has around 1500. The school became an Academy in 2012 and is part of the Bishop's Stortford Educational Trust working with other secondary schools and local primaries to sponsor new schools in the Bishop's Stortford North Development.
