After celebrating being the best school in Calderdale, we’re now incredibly proud to have been ranked the second highest-attaining school in all of Yorkshire, an outstanding achievement that reflects the hard work, dedication and excellence of our students and staff.

What makes this even more remarkable is that almost all of our students take on the additional academic challenge of studying both a language and a Humanities subject!

A huge well done to our students for their phenomenal results, and congratulations to all the brilliant schools and young people across Yorkshire celebrating their successes too.

A huge congratulations to Iris (Year 12), Maisie (Year 9) and Georgina (Year 7), who recently wowed audiences as part of the Halifax Amateur Theatre Youth production of Anastasia!

Iris took centre stage in the lead role, delivering a stunning performance that captivated the crowd, while Maisie and Georgina shone as part of the talented cast bringing energy, passion and professionalism to the stage.

We’re so proud of all three for their dedication and courage!

Some of our budding Y12 and Y13 Engineers had a fantastic visit to A Safe in Elland this week as part of our Degree Apprenticeship programme!

We had a really informative talk from Jo and Kirsty about the company and its vision before being shown around the vast and innovative factory by Richard. We finished with a discussion with a recent Apprentice graduate, Finlay who spoke about his journey with A Safe and his future career aspirations. We had many tips on how to navigate the job and applications process, including extensive use of Linked in!

Many thanks to A Safe for giving us the opportunity!

We’re saddened to share that two historic stone pillar finials were stolen from our school site between 11pm on Thursday 6th November and 6am on Friday 7th November.

These pillars are an important part of our school’s heritage, and we’d be so grateful for our community’s help in recovering them.

If you saw anything suspicious or have any information that could assist, please contact West Yorkshire Police quoting crime reference 13250641788.

It was wonderful to visit Rastrick High School this week, where Isobel, Isabelle and Farheen, who all joined Crossley Heath Sixth Form from Rastrick, returned to share their experiences with their former schoolmates. 

They spoke brilliantly about the opportunities, independence and support they’ve found since joining us, inspiring Rastrick’s current Year 11 students to follow in their footsteps.
