It is an HMC independent day school providing education for boys and girls drawn from the whole of the Wirral, Liverpool and as far afield as Chester and North Wales.Situated in the leafy suburb of Oxton, the School enjoys excellent facilities. The main campus has a village green atmosphere, with classrooms and laboratories looking out over the cricket square. Recent capital developments have included a new landscaped playground and outdoor classroom area.
The School comprises Nursery and Pre-Prep (Early Years), Prep and Seniors and integrates their objectives and activities within a One School ethos.Birkenhead School prides itself on being a family school and this has been greatly strengthened by the opening of the Nursery in 2006.A key feature of the School is its strength of community, which runs through the student, staff and parental bodies. The School is embedded within the wider Wirral community and has strong links with local businesses and charities.
A dedicated, talented and collegiate staff body is required to achieve this excellence and sense of community. The Schools informal motto is Respect, Responsibility and Resilience, to which the School has recently added Inclusivity, Compassion, Integrity, Humility and Courage as defined School values. Birkenhead School recruits on attitude as much as the quality of an individuals qualifications on paper, an approach that has played a considerable role in the winning of the Sunday Times award in short, staff go above and beyond.
