It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Emmaus Church of England and Catholic Primary School. We are a joint denominational school, the first in the country which was conceived as such and built to provide education for the children of Croxteth Park and fulfill the wishes of both the Liverpool Diocese and Archdiocese for a joint church school.
We are proud of all our achievements. We are particularly proud of the success that the school community has found in working together showing understanding, sensitivity and respect for each others religious traditions.
In 2014 and 2019, we were inspected by both the Catholic Archdiocese and the Church of England Diocese under a Section 48 Inspection, and graded outstanding in all areas. We were also inspected by Ofsted in November 2023 and graded outstanding in all areas.
