The School

I am delighted to welcome you to Birkdale High School's web site. It provides an introduction to our school and gives you access to information about policies and daily life.

Birkdale High School is proud of its ethos and reputation within the community. This is a school which continues the pursuit of excellence and combines innovative teaching methods and contemporary educational philosophy with traditional expectations. We are the only all boys’ 11-16 school within the Sefton Education Authority. We have seven forms of entry and we admit 186 boys at the age of eleven. There are currently 905 boys on roll and we are oversubscribed.

The school is fortunate in having a well qualified and dedicated staff whose aim is to equip young people with the education and skills they need. We provide an all round education, considering it important to develop the young person intellectually, morally, physically, socially and emotionally. We believe in academic excellence and personal fulfilment in a disciplined environment, based on values of mutual respect.

Birkdale High offers opportunity for all and its outstanding range of extra-curricular activities complements the work in the classroom to develop young adults with a sense of pride in the school, themselves and the community. OfSTED Inspected Birkdale in 2007 and described us as a ‘ Good School with Several Outstanding Features’.

Birkdale High School safeguards children and actively promotes their welfare.We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
