Amy joined The Birkenhead School after she moved from St Ives in Cornwall and has thrived ever since, enjoying subjects such as Maths and English. She is also a librarian for the school helping other students to enjoy reading. Amy said: “I love writing, it is my way of escaping and submerging myself into another world. My favourite subject at school is English and I want to write novels when I am older.” Head of Year 7, Mrs Kirwan, said: “This is a lovely achievement for Amy and one we are glad she has shared with us.” [ School Librarians achieve their Bronze awards](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/news/2017-11-01-school-librarians-achieve-their-bronze-awards) [The Birkenhead Park School Remembers ](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/news/2017-11-08-the-birkenhead-park-school-remembers) ![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/)
