We warmly invite you to our Prep Open Morning on Friday 14th November 2025 – 9.30-11.15am.

Join us for our Whole School Open Day on Saturday 25th April 2026 – 9.30am-12.30pm and discover what makes Birkenhead School such a vibrant and inspiring place to learn.
From our nurturing Early Years and Prep to our award-winning Senior School — named The Sunday Times Independent Secondary School of the Year (North West) 2025 — we offer an exceptional, all-through education where every child is known, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential.
Whether it’s taking centre stage in a school production, performing with one of our many musical ensembles, embarking on exciting trips, or leading as a prefect, sports captain, or science ambassador, students at Birkenhead School are encouraged to shine in every aspect of school life.
No parent with a child of suitable ability who would benefit from an education at Birkenhead School should be dissuaded from applying for a place on grounds of costs.
Bursaries are awarded to help students take up or retain a place at the School where their parents or guardian cannot pay full fees. All Bursaries are means-tested and may cover up to 100% of the full fee. It is unusual for very young children to be awarded Bursaries as assessment of their potential has to be established before a bursary can be considered.
