Prenton High School for Girls is an academy school for girls between the ages of 11 and 16 in Rock Ferry, Birkenhead, Wirral, England.

Overview

[edit]

This school is smaller than average and serves approximately 750 female students in an area of significant social and economic disadvantage. About one-third of students are selected for grammar school education. The school became a specialist college for science, maths and the visual arts in July 2007.[1] The school converted to academy status in August 2011.

The school is divided into three houses, each defined by its own colour: Bedford (green), Hesketh (yellow) and Riviera (red).[2]

Performance

[edit]

In October 2007 and 2010/2011 the school was described as "an outstanding school" and received ratings of good or excellent in all areas rated by the Ofsted inspection team.[1]
