The Frank Moran Young Writers Award 2026
We are absolutely delighted to celebrate the remarkable success of...
To celebrate British Science Week, this yearβs national theme of Curiosity truly came to life across Prep β and our pupils certainly rose to the challenge by being wonderfully curious!
We began the week with a Junior assembly, setting the tone by exploring the importance of asking questions, investigating ideas, and embracing a love of discovery.
Throughout the week, every Science lesson took a hands-on, practical approach, giving pupils the opportunity to explore and experiment:
β’ Year 3 investigated how different solutions affected eggshells, simulating the impact on teeth
β’ Year 4 put their engineering skills to the test by building structures using marshmallows and spaghetti
β’ Year 5 carried out an exciting popping candy investigation
β’ Year 6 explored the fascinating world of magnetism through a range of experiments
In addition, pupils had the opportunity to take their curiosity even further by entering the national British Science Week poster competition.
It was a fantastic week full of exploration, creativity, and scientific thinking!
Please join us for our annual festive celebration, taking place in two weeks time!! The concert will feature performances from our wide variety of music ensembles and is a staple in the calendar for the whole school community.
We can`t wait to see you there!

What a journey for our U16 squad in the @sistersnsport plate. With exciting games all the way through the knockouts, the girls had an amazing achievement reaching Finals Day at Loughborough University. π A semi final against Haileybury saw the girls give their all, but not enough to reach the final. Focus turned quickly to the 3rd /4th place playoff against Seaford College. After a couple of hours to regroup, take team photos πΈ and have lunch, they stepped back on court. A tough start saw us 7-2 at the first quarter, leaving it all to play for β¦.. and the girls gave it everything β€οΈ Just falling short with the final score 21-18, finishing 4th in the plate National Finals and the first Birkenhead School team to EVER make Finals Day. An incredible achievement for a group who have played together for the past 5 years. A huge thank you to Mr Kelly & Mrs Jones for their efforts and support throughout the season, as well as the fantastic support from parents who have supported every step of the way. Finally, thank you to @sistersnsport for hosting a fantastic Finals Day, as well as @bridgingfinancesolutions & St Johnβs Buildings Barrister Chambers for sponsoring match day tops for the team.

Inspired by the famous Love Actually scene, our Reception children created a very special video to celebrate their wonderful mummies.
Holding up their boards, the children shared all the reasons they love their mums β from the sweet and heartfelt to the brilliantly funny!
There were lots of smiles, plenty of laughter, and some very honest answers too!
We hope all the mums in our school community and beyond enjoyed a lovely, relaxing Motherβs Day with their families yesterday. π
