Whole School Open Day 2025

Thank you for registering for our Whole School Open Day

Saturday 26th April | 9:30am to 12:30pm

We’re really looking forward to welcoming you and your family to Birkenhead School.

Choosing the right school is an important investment in your child’s future, and here at Birkenhead School, that investment means more than just academic success. Our dedicated teachers take the time to truly get to know each child, supported by smaller class sizes and a curriculum that goes beyond the standard — helping every pupil reach their full potential.

To help you make the most of your visit, we’ve put together some useful information so you feel prepared and ready to explore all that our School has to offer.
