Stronger together – two leading independent schools to join forces
Two leading independent schools are coming together to build firm foundations for the future and provide more opportunities for pupils today and tomorrow.
Governors have decided that South Yorkshire’s Birkdale and the Peak District’s S. Anselm’s will join forces from the start of the new academic year in September, and build on both school’s traditions, dating back to 1888.
Birkdale School, based in Sheffield, celebrates its 120th year in 2024. It is a day school for boys and girls, with children aged between 4 and 18 while S. Anselm’s, part of the community in Bakewell since 1888, is a day and boarding school for boys and girls from age 3 to 13.
S. Anselm’s will become part of the Birkdale family but there will be no day-to-day changes for pupils, families or staff at either school as we design the details, together, of the new opportunities the coming together will bring at both schools.
The leadership of both organisations will explore opportunities for both school communities building on a shared ethos of academic excellence that is grounded in a nurturing and caring environment.
