The first floor being the mathematics and English blocks and the bottom being science, music, design technology, geography, history and ICT.

The school contains a large learning resource centre equipped with modern technology such as interactive whiteboards and computer systems.

At the start of the 2009/2010 school year the school was taken over by new head Mr Wood. He is also the head of the primary school. By 2011 the school was run by Mrs Woodcock. By late 2012 Birley Community College was being run by Mr Robinson acting as the head teacher
