Science Nights at Birkenhead School

Science Nights at Birkenhead School went off with a BANG...

We recently hosted a warm and meaningful Iftar gathering, organised by our Diversity Club. The event welcomed local Muslim families to join members of the school community in observing the Maghrib prayer, which was beautifully called by one of our younger pupils.

This occasion marked an important and positive step in celebrating and supporting the diversity within our community, reflecting the school’s ongoing commitment to inclusion and respect for all backgrounds. With around ten families in attendance and an overwhelmingly positive response, the event was both intimate and impactful.

The Diversity Club looks forward to building on this success, refining the format and establishing a strong foundation for future Iftar gatherings and other religious or cultural celebrations at Birkenhead School.
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! 

Tickets are available on bookwhen.com/birkenheadschool (you can find the link in our bio and story highlights).

Tickets £5 (children free) | Bushell Hall | 15th December, 7pm
