It is an honour and a privilege to lead Birkenhead High School Academy, a 3-19 girls’ state school. We are a thriving, all through learning community, embracing core traditional values with a firm eye on the ever-changing future. Together, we nurture successful learners, aspiring individuals, and responsible citizens who live by our core values: be respectful, be forgiving, be kind, and learn without limits. Girls are encouraged to be challenged, take risks and to develop a life-long love of learning. They are given every opportunity to develop in to fearless, confident and responsible young women. We foster a family community within the school and also we are very much part of the GDST wider family, sharing their aims as pioneers and shapers of girls’ education. BHSA students are strong members of this movement, with our girls benefiting from and contributing to the GDST’s extensive network.
