St Mary & St Paul’s is a successful primary school, which has been graded as ‘good’ by Ofsted and ‘outstanding’ in our SIAMS (church school) inspection.
We are a warm, welcoming school in Prescot where we cater for children of all abilities and seek to develop them educationally, spiritually, morally and culturally. We strive for all children to achieve their potential, supporting them as they develop the key skills that they require to progress further through life. Our Christian Values are at the centre of all that we do and are a key feature of our school.
Our curriculum is balanced and broad, catering for all abilities and which will provide them with the best possible education at the earliest stage of their life. It is delivered by a team of staff in a way that is enjoyable and challenging enabling each child to make progress in their learning.
The school has its own nursery which takes children in from 3 years of age. The nursery provides 15 hours (5 x 3 hours per day) throughout term time.
We also work with a private daycare facility on site (Sue Gill Nursery) which caters for children up to 3 years of age, five days a week, all year round. This forms part of the 30 hour offer which is split between both daycare and the school nursery.
St Mary & St Paul’s provides a Breakfast Club from 7.45am and an After School Club until 5.30pm. In addition, the school has a wide range of after school activities which are led by both staff and external providers.

Through the work of our Family Support Worker the school is able to provide English and Maths lessons and parenting classes for any parent who is looking to support their children further, either at home or at school. We also work with a number of health professionals to support the needs of the children.
St Mary & St Paul’s is also the lead school in Mersey Boroughs Initial Teacher Training, where we are at the centre of training new teachers who work across many schools in Merseyside and further afield.
Our school also works closely with the Diocese of Liverpool and we are continuing to strengthen and deepening these links even further.

Welcome
Hello and welcome to FACE Forward Recovery Partnership Prospectus. We are a service that provides free health and wellbeing courses to residents of the Knowsley area and beyond.
Since we started in 2015 we have welcomed over 1000 students through our doors who have participated in courses.
All of our courses are co-designed and co-delivered by volunteers and people with lived experience of mental health issues. By doing this we aim to empower the people in our communities to play and active role in generating better health and wellbeing outcomes for themselves and future generations.
We aim to provide person and community centred health approaches that enable the people in our communities to live healthier and more fulfilled lives.
FACE Forward offers both social and educational prescribing to help alleviate symptoms of poor mental health that compliment medical interventions provided by GPs or mental health services. Social and educational prescription is an extremely important and effective way to combat some of the personal, social and economic issues that can lead to poor mental health.
We are continually expanding our mix and breadth of courses to make our services more accessible to as many people in our communities as possible.
We would like to thank everyone who has participated in and supported this successful partnership and look forward to welcoming anyone new who wishes to engage with the project,
Regards,
The FACE Forward Team
Alex Horrocks Angie Kitching Barbara Basnett
About us
FACE Forward Recovery Partnership is a partnership between Knowsley Councils Family and Community Education service and North West Boroughs Healthcare. The partnership began as a 2 year research project in 2015 that was funded by the Department for Education to measure the impacts of educational courses on mild to moderate mental health symptoms. Such was the demand for courses and success of the outcomes from this research we were in no doubt that this was a service that we needed to continue beyond 2017. With this in mind we applied to the National Lottery reaching communities fund and are delighted to say were successful in our bid to keep the project going until December 2020.
As part of our project we continually strive to consult our beneficiaries and members of the public on activities they feel may benefit our communities so if you have an idea for a possible intervention then please do not hesitate to get in touch with any of the team.
