Dunkirk Hero
Wed 07 Mar 2018On Wednesday, Criftins brothers Ross, Ryan and Aaron (and mum) attended a very special ceremony in Wallasey. It was to unveil a riverfront memorial on Seacombe Promenade to recognise their great uncle’s bravery in the Second World War.
Their great uncle, whose name was Jack Potter, has been named a Battle of Britain and Dunkirk hero and his brave actions were the inspiration behind scenes in the recent hit film Dunkirk!
Jack Potter was one of the pilots flying Spitfires during World War II and was responsible for helping to save 200 service personne from HMS Basilik when it was sunk during the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940.
The ceremony was featured on BBC news and you can watch the full clip in the link below. See if you can spot any familiar faces!! https://criftins-ce-primary-school.primarysite.media/media/world-war-2-hero

The Hard Back Hide Out - a place to chill with a book
Wed 07 Feb 2018We are delighted that Mr Reincke has worked so hard to complete our reading outdoor area The Hardback Hideout . He has engaged our local business ADT Carpets in Ellesmere and with the generosity of the manager Danny we have been able to carpet the whole area.
A huge thank you goes out to Dean and Lee for coming to fit the carpet today, it really is a special place for all our children.
We are so so grateful for the generosity of ADT Carpets in Ellesmere for gifting this to the school. What a wonderful community for our children.
I just hope hope I don’t get found having a nap in there 😉.
Shoes off children, we now have a posh hideout!

Sun 17 Dec 2017We have a road closure on the route to school which will affect us from 18th to 21st December. With this being the case we need to put in an informal one way system for those three days. Please see the map attached and share with all.
Parents will be able to park at the front of school but will need to follow the BLUE route on the map avoiding the closure.
Can we please ask that caution is taken whilst the road is closed and to keep your speed to a minimum. Please be mindful of other road users including pedestrians on the approach to school.
