Congratulations to our recent leavers who are off to study medicine. We are very proud of their achievements and, as is tradition, they have been to School to collect their gift of a personally engraved stethoscope to help them on their way as they begin their courses.

The new academic year has brought the launch of an updated School uniform, most notably a new range of ties and a bespoke tartan kilt in Year 6 and Seniors. School uniform plays an important role in setting the tone for academic and wider success and students are visible ambassadors for Birkenhead School, both on and off-site.

Congratulations go to our GCSE students who collected their results earlier today.We are proud of each and every one of our students, and are delighted that the results reflect the academic strength of the cohort: twenty students out of a cohort of seventy-three achieved grades 7 to 9 in all their exams, a reflection of their attitude to learning, and the diligence and commitment of both them and their teachers over the last two years.
