Founded
in the latter half of the nineteenth century, the School has for many years
enjoyed an enviable reputation as the leading boys' school on the Wirral. Since
September 2000 the School has been co-educational at Sixth Form level. Birkenhead School prides itself on high academic standards, a full programme of extra curricular activities, and a wide range of sporting activity. Through this the School seeks to inculcate the key virtues of self-discipline, a sense of personal and social responsibility, and a positive outlook, so that our pupils can look forward with confidence to making a constructive contribution to tomorrow's world, whatever role they eventually adopt.
Entry to the school is available via the Prep School, by open competitive examination at 11, by Common Entrance at 13, or by interview at Sixth Form level. Entry at other times can be considered upon consultation with the Headmaster.
