This month, we have launched Birkenhead Futures as part of the School's ongoing commitment to offering the very best bespoke advice and guidance for our Sixth Form students.

Birkenhead Futures is an exciting new programme designed to prepare students for Higher Education and the world of work.  “This is part of our ongoing commitment to offering our Sixth Formers the very best bespoke advice and guidance we can”, said Ms Smeaton, Head of Sixth Form. “Whether they opt for university, a degree apprenticeship or workplace training, we want to ensure that our students are equipped with the requisite skills, experiences and ambitions to succeed in life beyond Birkenhead School”. 
 
Over the coming months, our Lower Sixth Formers will participate in a range of engaging and interactive workshops and seminars.  Each area of Birkenhead Futures will be overseen by a specialist member of the Sixth Form team, offering students valuable opportunities to develop their wider reading and research skills, as well as providing them with interview practice and tailored preparation for the various tests required for certain courses.
 
Whilst we know that some Sixth Formers will have a very clear idea of their chosen career path, we do not expect that this will not be the case for all.  The aim of Birkenhead Futures is to support every student, as they prepare to pursue their own personal goals and fulfil their ambitions. 
 
Following the introduction to the programme, Sixth Former, Esme, commented, “it’s really opened my eyes to so many new possibilities and I’m really looking forward to the various workshops and seminars”.
