Welcome to Prep

We offer a truly inspiring environment for children to grow up and develop in. Your investment in your child’s education at an early allows highly dedicated teachers who take the time to get to know your child in smaller class settings and add value to your child’s potential and academic achievements through a curriculum that goes beyond that offered in other schools.

We hope that our website entices you to visit as that really is the best way to get to know what difference a Birkenhead School education will make to your child’s education.

This stage of a child’s education is about discovery – finding and nurturing interests, talents and passions. We provide lots of opportunities to encourage the pursuit of individual talents and interests from an early age so children can grow in confidence during their time in Prep and the foundations for success in later life are firmly established.

Progression to Seniors

Progression to Seniors

As one School, we can help support children as they move onto Seniors and ensure that the transition is as seamless as possible. This provides for a coherent, all-through education, building on the foundations laid in Prep and maintaining not only the quality, but also the energy and excitement of intellectual discovery.
