GENERAL INFORMATION:
As the only 11-16 all-boys academy in Sefton, Birkdale High School aims to be a beacon for outstanding practice in the education of boys and be the school of choice for all boys in the Southport community and beyond. We passionately believe that a single-sex setting at this particular stage of a boy’s education is the ideal environment for them to grow in confidence, close the attainment gap with girls and develop their love of learning. Our boys are able to mature at their own pace, supported and challenged by staff who are experts in teaching boys, and surrounded by peers to whom they can closely relate.
The English department strives to be at the heart of a vibrant curriculum at Birkdale High School. As a team, we are committed to ensuring that all of our boys thrive across all three core disciplines: reading, writing and oracy, to support them in all of their subjects across the curriculum but also to empower them to remain intellectually curious, lifelong learners. All teachers within the English Department are dedicated to work collaboratively, cultivating a climate of excellence and are passionate about ensuring our boys harness a desire and enthusiasm to learn and succeed. Through our knowledge-rich curriculum, our aim is for all students to foster a genuine love of learning and to appreciate the intrinsic value of education. Learning to the point of mastery enables students to access increasingly challenging aspects of learning with confidence and apply their knowledge to a range of meaningful contexts.
