Birtenshaw School Merseyside

Our vision is to ‘brighten lives and build futures’ by

ensuring that all pupils receive the same learning and

social opportunities as other children. We achieve this by

providing outstanding purpose-built facilities and a

creative curriculum tailored to meet pupils’ individual

needs.

With a dedicated staff team and our unique approach we provide a supportive and safe environment where all young people make progress regardless of their starting point.
