The Good Schools Guide Celebrates Birkenhead School

Happy, confident children. Enthusiastic teachers. ‘Something a little bit magical’...

Co-Curricular & Academic Enrichment Programmes (Prep & Seniors)  It might start with stepping onto the hockey pitch, joining a choir rehearsal, planting something in Horticulture Club or asking a question at a Nicholls Lecture.... a few weeks later, youโ€™re part of a team, performing for an audience, debating an idea or discovering a subject you want to take further!  Our Co-Curricular & Academic Enrichment programmes in Prep and Seniors are in full flow and continue at pace this term. If you, or your son or daughter, haven't yet taken advantage of the opportunities available then take a look.  Because being Birkonian means having the chance to be curious, get involved and discover what youโ€™re capable of - whilst having fun along the way!  See Firefly, School website (Prep Co-Curricular and Seniors Co-Curricular) for details or speak to form tutors for more information.  #BeBirkonian #BeCurious #FindYourNiche #ThereIsSomethingSpecialAboutThisSchool
