National Lacrosse Championships 2025

Success at the National Lacrosse Championships We were thrilled to...

The opening night of Little Shop of Horrors is tomorrow and this weekend we met the pit band for the first time. The cast spent the weekend rehearsing with the musicians and we have to say, it's sounding amazing! Whether you are learning a musical instrument already or thinking about having lessons, our performances of Little Shop of Horrors are the perfect chance to see our very own peri music teachers (and one of our students!) in action. 

The cast and band can't wait to show you the results of all their hard work, so if you haven't got your ticket yet, secure your seat now at book when.com/birkenheadschool (we'll pop the link in our stories)

LSOH | Tickets £15 | 20th - 29th March | Bushell Hall
Well done to all our amazing GCSE Artists for completing their 10 hour practical exam last week. Good luck A Level Art students for this coming week, and all subsequent exams. It’s been a pleasure; it will feel very quiet when you leave - all 12 of you! Best wishes Mrs M & Mrs C. @birkenheadschool #gcseartist #gceartists #alevelart #endofschool

💫 EXCITING NEWS! 

Earlier this year a number of our students picked monologues, recorded self tapes and auditioned for the @nationalyouththeatre 

After a number of callbacks three of our Drama students were offered places at the upcoming Summer Course! 
Congratulations to Hannah, Olly and Max! 

National Youth Theatre empowers young people to tell stories and find their voices on leading stages, screens and behind the scenes. For nearly 70 years they have equipped young people with toolkits to realise their creative potentials, from Helen Mirren and Daniel Craig to Regé-Jean Page, Ed Sheeran and Florence Pugh.

Congratulations to everyone who auditioned! You’re all so talented and we are very proud of you!
