The Birkenhead Park School is a school on the up - celebrating a remarkable transformation marked by Ofsted-recognised improvements, record-breaking exam results, and a renewed sense of ambition across our entire community.

Ofsted describes The Birkenhead Park School as being on a "rapid journey of improvement, " with clear evidence of sustained progress. Attendance is central to this success. The school now proudly holds the highest attendance of all non selective schools across the Wirral and is officially the most improved for attendance in the 2024-25 academic year.

This outstanding achievement demonstrates the relentless ambition of the school and is a key indicator of the positive direction the school continues to travel in. This success is driven by a proactive, skilled, and hardworking Attendance Team, who work closely with students and families to identify barriers, provide tailored support, and ensure every child is in school, ready to learn.

The school's innovative approach to attendance was recently recognised with a win at the Educate Awards, shining a spotlight on the team's commitment, creativity, and impact.

We are now seeking a dedicated Attendance Assistant to join this award-winning team at a school that is very clearly on the up.
