The trip is always enjoyed by all and a great way for the students to get to know their new friends and teachers even more. Head of Year 7 Mrs Kirwan said: “Our students are always really excited to go on this trip and it is a fantastic way for them to develop their organisational skills, build resilience and work as part of a team without them even realising because they are having so much fun. “There really is something for everyone to enjoy and so much going on all the time. They will certainly sleep well on Friday when they get home!” [Trip](https://birkenheadparkschool.com/news/tag/trip) [Enrichment](https://birkenheadparkschool.com/news/tag/enrichment) [ Headteacher's stars of the week](https://birkenheadparkschool.com/news/2016-10-11-headteacher-s-stars-of-the-week) [Sporting success for students ](https://birkenheadparkschool.com/news/2016-10-19-sporting-success-for-students) ![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://birkenheadparkschool.com/job-vacancies) - [Parent View](https://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://birkenheadparkschool.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
