Civic Award 2026

We were delighted to welcome The Mayor of Wirral, Councillor...

We were delighted to welcome Change a Child's Life, one of the charities we proudly support, to Junior Prep on Friday.  Our pupils enjoyed learning how the funds raised by our school community have made a real difference – helping to support Natalia, the child we sponsor, as well as contributing to the construction of a new Science Laboratory at the Maria Immaculata School in Kenya.  One of the highlights of the visit was watching the wonderful adventure of Bertie the Bear as he travelled all the way to Kenya in search of Natalia! 🌍🧸 It was a fun and heartwarming way for our pupils to see the impact of their fundraising and the connections they've helped to build across the world.  A huge thank you to Change a Child's Life for inspiring our pupils and reminding us all how small acts of kindness can make a big difference.  #BirkenheadSchool #ChangeAChildsLife #MakingADifference #GlobalCitizens #JuniorPrep #EducationWithPurpose #ThereIsSomethingSpecialAboutThisSchool
