Welcome to Seniors

At Birkenhead School we offer a holistic education that sets our students apart. It is in Seniors that our students develop into responsible, conscientious and confident young adults ready to take the next step in their journey.

Overdale is home to our Year 7 and 8 students and provides a school within a school setting. Children moving from the Prep, and those joining the school, quickly feel comfortable as they make the transition. Friendly peer support is on offer from Sixth Form students, who meet and mentor students as they start life in Seniors.

Senior Pastoral Care

Senior Pastoral Care

We place great importance and value on the pastoral support offered to all students in Seniors. Our close-knit community allows us to get to know students well, allowing us to support each student so that they leave School as confident, conscientious and responsible young adults, ready to take their places in the world.

During a student’s time in Seniors, the School’s Futures Team runs support sessions, lessons and one-2-one interviews to help advise students on subject choices and career options.

A Broad and Balanced Curriculum

Our students receive excellent examination results but it’s their intellectual curiosity, which we carefully nurture, that holds the key to their success. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum where students can tailor their studies, alongside core subjects, according to their individual strengths and career plans.

Small Class Sizes

Small class sizes continue to allow high levels of support and attention, ensuring no question goes unanswered, with opinions listened to and respected by teachers and friends. As part of a holistic education, all students participate in sports, music and the arts. Talents in these areas are nurtured and encouraged and students from the School have represented the various disciplines at local, regional and national levels.
