The opening night of Little Shop of Horrors is tomorrow and this weekend we met the pit band for the first time. The cast spent the weekend rehearsing with the musicians and we have to say, it's sounding amazing! Whether you are learning a musical instrument already or thinking about having lessons, our performances of Little Shop of Horrors are the perfect chance to see our very own peri music teachers (and one of our students!) in action. 

The cast and band can't wait to show you the results of all their hard work, so if you haven't got your ticket yet, secure your seat now at book when.com/birkenheadschool (we'll pop the link in our stories)

Well done to all our amazing GCSE Artists for completing their 10 hour practical exam last week. Good luck A Level Art students for this coming week, and all subsequent exams.

๐Ÿ’ซ EXCITING NEWS ๐ŸŽญ

Our school is proud to announce next yearโ€™s play is going to be - โ€œBlood Brothers - The Play Versionโ€ - for the FIRST TIME ever directed by our talented sixth form students!

This powerful play tells the unforgettable story of twins separated at birth, raising questions about fate, class, and the bonds that connect us all. 

Mark your calendars for September 2025! Auditions will be announced after the Summer holidays. 

This is a unique opportunity to support our sixth formers as they take on this challenging directorial debut. We canโ€™t wait to see their fresh vision bring this classic to life!
