The Year 8 girls were also leaders on the day and were extremely helpful and professional working with the other schools. Subject Lead for PE, Miss Ponton said: “All the students were brilliant and were praised so much for their behaviour and effort, they made me really proud. We’re still waiting to find out exact times and places for the events but most importantly they all enjoyed the day and were a credit to the school.” [Sports](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/news/tag/sports) [ Students benefit from ‘Unlocking Potential’ Programme](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/news/2016-05-18-students-benefit-from-unlocking-potential-programme) [Headteacher's stars of the week ](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/news/2016-05-24-headteacher-s-stars-of-the-week) ![The Birkenhead Park School](https://files.schudio.com/uabirkenhead/images/logo/Untitled_design_(6).png) #### The Birkenhead Park School Park Road South Birkenhead Wirral, Merseyside CH43 4UY 0151 652 1574 #### Useful Links - [Vacancies](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/job-vacancies) - [Parent View](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/parents/parent-view) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/thebirkenheadparkschool/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/bpswirral/) - [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@bpswirral) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Birkenhead Park School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
