BBG Academy (formerly Birkenshaw Middle School) is a mixed secondary school located in Birkenshaw, West Yorkshire, England.^[1]

Birkenshaw Middle School was a community school administered by Kirklees Metropolitan Borough Council. The school educated pupils aged 9 to 13. A long campaign was established by parents to retain the school when the council announced plans to close it, which resulted in the school converting to academy status in 2012. The school (now named BBG Academy) then changed the age range of pupils to become an 11 to 16 secondary school.^[2] But, the school has been noted for inadequate Ofsted reports.
