'This nurturing and inclusive school provides a safe, loving and caring environment for all pupils and the Christian vision and values direct staff in their determination to inspire the pupils’ aspirations, perseverance and life chances.’ SIAMS Keeping on Track visit 2022

On behalf of the children, staff, and governors, I welcome you to our warm, caring and inclusive church school. I hope that our website will give you an interesting and valuable insight into the life of our school and a taste of what we offer.
Our vibrant Christian ethos has a positive impact on children’s progress, achievement and spiritual development. It is based upon seven Core Christian Values, which are at the heart of all that we do. We have a strong sense of community with a family atmosphere, maintaining excellent links with our parents/carers, parishioners, our local community and the Diocese of Liverpool.

Ours is a school where all children engage - there are no invisible children here! We aim to ensure that every child feels safe, secure and confident, with a strong sense of self-worth. We are dedicated to the provision of a nurturing environment where children learn and grow to be the best they can.

We actively encourage both staff and parents to support the children in our pursuit of high standards in education, within a happy and supportive environment. We provide a rich and varied curriculum, which is motivating and challenging, yet appropriate for all children, regardless of ability or need. We encourage an understanding of all faiths and cultures by high quality teaching and through enjoyable experiences both inside and outside of school. Our dedicated staff endeavour to provide a calm and stimulating environment, where good behaviour and mutual respect is modelled by everyone, and where all are valued.

We are very proud of our school and the achievements of the children. Through this website we aim to give you as much information as possible about the school, its staff, our community, and the many activities that our children enjoy.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like any further information, and you are more than welcome to arrange to visit our school and experience for yourselves our warm and friendly atmosphere.
