Great Crosby Catholic Primary School
"...that they may have life and have it to the full." John 10:10
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.

ITP (Immune Thrombocytopenia) is a rare blood disorder, which affects the platelets. Platelets are one of the three types of blood cells, along with red and white blood cells. ITP affects four in every 100,000 children. Most children recover within the first 6 weeks. Charlotte has had chronic ITP for 5 years. She suffers with bruising, bleeding and daily tiredness. She takes daily meditation and has required other hospital treatment.
Charlotte was lucky enough to be put forward by Alder Hey Hospital to a charity called Destination Florida. They took 75 children from the North West away to Florida for the week on a trip of a lifetime. These children are either terminally ill or who have life limiting conditions.

Dear Parents and Carers
What a lovely first week I have had here at Great Crosby. Thank you to everyone who has made me feel so welcome on the yard in the mornings and to all the staff and pupils. Everyone has been so warm and friendly. It has been lovely to see the children looking so smart, learning in classes and hearing them laughing and playing on the playground.
We have all been learning about Great Crosby's mission statement at the start of term, starting with staff at the beginning of the week and ending with children in assembly today. It has been a privilege to see the staff's caring attitude towards the pupils helping them all settle in so well and the pupils' positive attitudes, truly living out our Mission Statement on the ground.
We are looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible in our 'Meet the Teachers' over the next few weeks ( dates in the newsletter and the calendar page). We will be sending out our code of conduct and home school agreement at the meetings to promote our parent partnership here at school.
For now, well done to everyone for getting through to the end of the first week in such hot conditions, we will keep a relaxed approach for summer/winter uniform over the next few weeks to keep children cool. Have a well deserved rest over the weekend and I look forward to meeting you moving forward.
Best wishes

Fri 10th Mar - British Science Week 10th - 19th Mar
Year 1 were welcomed to school today not only to snow, but each classroom had a crime scene set up. The chairs had been toppled over, books were on the floor and sand had been left. Crucially for the investigation, fingerprints had been left behind. Each child had their own fingerprints taken to rule them out as a suspect. We learnt if we had a loop, whorl or arch fingerprint. Thankfully, we found out that all children had been ruled out as a suspect. This led us to the conclusion that the Gingerbread Man had run through school to escape the iron men and the snow down at the beach.
This starts our celebration of British Science Week. Click on the image to visit our STEM page with some British Science Week experiments to try at home.

Live Simply
Things we are doing to ‘Live Simply’.
Please use this prayer with your families to celebrate and remind us of our responsibility:
Please use this prayer with your families to celebrate and remind us of our responsibility:
As we begin 2020, we continue our journey to live simply and look after our beautiful world, as Pope Francis has asked us to.
We continue to make simple changes in our school life:
· ensure we recycle paper
· switch off lights when not in use
· use reusable plastic to carry our lunch
· reuse single-use plastic bottles to make and store
· walk/cycle/scoot to school more often
· no longer using single-use plastic for jelly/ fruit in the kitchen
· letters home are electronic, where possible
· one paper-free day per term
We are working towards being zero-heroes for the environment.
Can you as families do any of the above? Or more?
