Thea Green MBE Inspires Sixth Form at Nicholls Lecture Series

It was a pleasure to welcome Thea Green MBE, founder...

Are you looking at Pre-Schools for your son or daughter for September or beyond?

Every journey at Birkenhead School begins in our Pre Prep, where children join us from age 3 and take their very first steps into learning through play, exploration, and discovery.

From those early days building confidence, friendships, and a love of learning, through to the ambition and independence of our older pupils, we nurture every child to thrive at every stage, while empowering our senior students to lead by example, supporting younger pupils as reading buddies and through co-curricular clubs, developing their confidence, responsibility, and leadership skills.
Join us for our Whole School Open Day and experience it for yourself.

πŸ‘‰Saturday 25th April
πŸ‘‰9:30 – 12:30

We warmly welcome families to explore our Pre Prep and beyond, meet our inspiring teachers, and discover what makes our community so special.

Take a glimpse into life in Reception in the video belowβ€”then come and see where the journey truly begins.
