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

Sport is a large part of School life at Birkenhead School, with students taking part in a wide and varied Games and PE curriculum and numerous sports clubs before, during and after school.

Rugby, lacrosse, cricket, netball, tennis, hockey and golf are some of the sports played at the School and students’ character and moral principles are formed through fair play and teamwork. Positive self-esteem and physical and mental well-being contribute to overall success both inside and outside of the classroom, and are all developed through the sports experiences on offer.

Inclusivity extends to the sports field with students offered opportunities to represent the School across the breadth of sports. Weekly fixtures see parents and the School community coming together to support on the touchline.
