Academy Update - June 2008  

Birkenhead High School, on the Wirral, a successful independent day school for girls aged 3-19, owned by the Girl’s Day School Trust (GDST), is transferring to independent Academy status.

  

Birkenhead High School Independent Academy will be a non-denominational, all-through (3-19) girls' school, located at the current site of Birkenhead High School. Subject to ministerial approval, which we expect will be given by the end of 2008, it will admit its first pupils in September 2009 to Nursery, Reception, Year 7 and Sixth Form as part of a phased process.

Birkenhead High School is delighted with two new awards which have been presented by the authoritative Good Schools Guide. 

The guide surveys A level results achieved by schools from all parts of the UK to monitor teaching excellence and to recognise high standards in individual subjects.   In its 2006 guide, which was released on 26 April 2007, Birkenhead High School received two awards for securing top results in the following categories:

  • Best results at A level achieved by girls taking English Language at an independent school

  • Best results at AS level achieved by girls taking Physical Education and Sports Studies at an independent school

Presenting our awards, Ralph Lucas, editor of the Good Schools Guide, says:

"Many congratulations on these two awards which celebrate the excellence of the teaching at Birkenhead High School.  Our awards are now in their third year and recognise excllent teaching in individual subjects."
