Sports Awards 2025 – Birkonian Week

Last night, we were delighted to welcome families to an evening of celebration as we honoured the incredible achievements of our student athletes at this year’s Sports Awards.

The event shone a spotlight on the dedication, skill, and teamwork demonstrated across the School, with accolades such as Player of the Year, Most Improved, and the Coaches’ Award recognising outstanding contributions. Captains took to the stage to reflect on the highlights of their seasons — a reminder of just how much has been accomplished in our focus sports and beyond.

We were also proud to introduce next year’s Sports Captains, who joined us on stage as they prepare to lead the way for #TeamBirkenhead.

The evening closed with a drinks reception, kindly provided by our wonderful catering team, bringing a celebratory end to a night of sporting pride.

Well done to all involved — we’re already looking forward to what the next year has in store!
We are delighted to announce that tickets are now available for our Summer Concert!
