St Mary's College, Crosby
St Mary's College is an independent Roman Catholic coeducational school in Crosby, Merseyside, about 11 km north of Liverpool. It comprises an early years department "Bright Sparks" (age 4 and under), preparatory school known as "The Mount" (age 4-11) and secondary school with a 6th Form (age 11-18). It was formerly a direct grant grammar school for boys, founded and controlled by the Christian Brothers order. Notable alumni include John Birt, Roger McGough, Tony Booth and Cardinal Vincent Nichols.
==Founding and affiliation==
The college was established as a boys' school in 1919 by the Irish Christian Brothers, a clerical order founded by Blessed Edmund Rice in the early nineteenth century.
The college became a direct grant grammar school in 1946 as a result of the 1944 Education Act. Post-war alumni describe ''"a heavy emphasis on rote learning and testing, underpinned by the brutal punishment that the Christian Brothers favoured"'', ''"the carrot-and-stick method—without the carrot"'', ''"a hard, disciplined education ...generous with the strap"''. ''"But it wasn't a bad school; they took working-class Catholic boys, gave them an education and got them to university,"'' ''"the school was good, and still is"'',〔 and ''"the sixth form at St Mary's was an altogether different experience"''.〔 An article was published in ''The Guardian'' in 1998 surrounding alleged sexual abuse at the college. 10 years on the school have yet to make a statement on these allegations.〔("No brother to me" ), ''The Guardian''〕
When direct grants were abolished by the 1974–79 Labour government St Mary's became an independent school and is a member of the HMC. It began teaching girls in the sixth form in 1983 and became fully co-educational in 1989. The college is now administered by laypersons, ceasing to be a Christian Brothers' school in January 2006 on becoming an independent charity (St Mary's College Crosby Trust Limited) that ''"exists to educate children and welcomes families from all faiths"''.
