Community Involvement

Sunday Times Schools Guide 2025 - Independent Secondary School of the Year North West

Our Unique Community

With our unique community being able to offer those involved with the School a happy and caring environment to belong to, Birkenhead School’s common aim is to ensure our whole School community can continue to play an important role in the local community, as well as making a difference further afield.

We are proud to support a wide range of charities both within the local area, within the UK and overseas

Charitable Support

We support a number of local and international charities and give our time, as well as raising funds to those close to us, as well as to those further afield who rely on the kindness and support of others.

Our students leave us appreciating the importance of giving back to those less fortunate and with strong, altruistic qualities.

Charities that we have worked with recently include

  • British Legion
  • Change a Child’s Life
  • Children in Need
  • Claire House
  • Crisis
  • Hello Yellow
  • Hive
  • MS Society
  • NEO Community
  • NSPCC
  • Red Nose Day (Comic Relief)
  • Save the Children
  • Teenage Cancer Trust
  • The Ocean Cleanup
  • Ukraine Unicef
  • UNICEF
  • Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
  • Young Minds

Business Links

Our business links extend across the globe through our wide network of parents and alumni.

We are members of the Wirral Chamber of Commerce and and work closely with them to discuss and engage on issues affecting Wirral and Liverpool.

We access Wirral Chamber services for the benefit of our students and work collaboratively with them to offer a range of workshops and activities across different year groups.
