Welcome
Welcome to Great Crosby Catholic Primary School website. We are a large Catholic primary school serving the parishes of Ss. Peter and Paul and St. Helen’s. Our Catholic mission underpins all we do.
Our school family works hard to provide a place where the Gospel values are lived out each and every day. We strive to create a community based on love, respect and forgiveness; a place where each individual can learn and grow in love of God and of each other.
At Great Crosby we strive to create a place of academic excellence whilst ensuring the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils is given an equally high priority. We want everyone in our school family to simply be the best they can be. We work hard together to ensure that our pupils really do ‘have life and have it to the full.’
Our termly curriculum brochures keep you informed of the themes being studied and ways in which you can support your child at home. Our weekly edition of the Wednesday Word also allows you to support your child and the family in your faith journey.
Great Crosby works closely in partnership with other schools in Sefton and Liverpool to share good practice and ensure that we stay at the forefront of educational development.
We are also a member of the Archdiocese of Liverpool Primary School Improvement Trust.

Languages, Football and Unity Poster Competition
Languages, Football and Unity Poster Competition
A huge 'gracias' to every child who entered the languages poster competition. The posters showcased not only fantastic artistic talent but also a wonderful celebration of languages, cultures and the ‘spirit of international sport' (SIL). Our class councillors chose the three entries to submit to SIL who were running the competition. Although we didn't have an overall winner from this school, we were so impressed that every child who took part has received a certificate and a pack of sweets.

This will give children the chance to play music with no experience needed! All instruments provided. Please look out for a separate letter at 6pm today, if you would like your child join the after-school sessions in the autumn.
