O n behalf of the children, staff, church and governors, I am extremely proud to welcome you to Christ Church CE (VA) Primary School, Birkenhead. Our shared and deeply rooted vision that ' with God , all things are possible ' , is at the heart of our beliefs. We nurture, develop and celebrate the God-given talents of every child within a deeply caring and Christian environment.
As a Church of England school, our core values are based upon the teachings of Jesus Christ and underpin all that we do and how we behave towards one another. By living out Jesus' teachings, we ensure that all children, without exception and exclusion, are loved by God and feel safe and valued within our school community.
Our dedicated staff and governors provide a quality education for all our children and aspire for each child to be the best they can be, spiritually, morally, emotionally, socially and academically. As a result our children are extremely welcoming, hard working and well-behaved and are a credit to our school, our families and our community.
