    • Star of the Week: Mr Barber!

      Published 26/06/25

       

      This week’s well-deserved Star Staff shoutout goes to Mr Barber, whose kindness, creativity and care for students truly stood out.

      After noticing one of his students was struggling to focus in lessons, Nick took it upon himself to design and build a fidget bar prototype, a clever tool that fits under the front of a desk to help students with hyperactivity needs channel their energy and maintain concentration.

      This thoughtful innovation shows not only Nick’s problem solving skills, but also his deep commitment to inclusion and supporting all learners. We’re so lucky to have staff who go the extra mile to make a difference.

      Well done, Nick! 🌟👏

    • Our cricket nets are coming back!

      Published 24/06/25

      Thanks to the wonderful support of our Alumni David and James, with the sponsorship of local business the Big 6 and support of the Crossley & Porter Foundation, our students will soon be hitting big sixes as our cricket nets return to the lower Arena.

      The aerial view of the Arena still shows the outline where the nets once stood after students themselves installed them in 1910 and where they stood for decades. The best of Crossley Heath heritage is coming back with an October installation date.

      Thank you to our ex-students who are still championing the school they love and demonstrating our value of kindness.

    • Yorkshire Champions

      Published 23/06/25

      A huge congratulations to Sebby and Matty, who were selected to represent the Huddersfield Taverners U15s in the prestigious Yorkshire Junior Cricket Festival.

      With 16 leagues from across the county taking part, Huddersfield had to overcome some of the strongest teams in the region, including Upper Airedale, Aire Wharfe, Heavy Woollen, and York, to reach the final.

      They didn’t just make it… they made history, remaining unbeaten throughout and winning the final in style with a comprehensive 200-run victory over Barnsley to lift the U15s Lord’s Taverners Trophy! 🏆🔥

      We’re incredibly proud of Sebby and Matty for their outstanding achievement and for representing the school and their league with such talent and determination. Well done, lads! 👏

    • Standing With Refugees

      Published 23/06/25

      This week we visited St Augustine’s, our partner charity, to help celebrate the strength and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary right here in Calderdale.

      We were honoured to meet volunteers and centre members who are united in one powerful mission: to support families arriving in Calderdale as they begin new lives after fleeing war, persecution and hardship.

      A heartfelt thank you to our Head Students Lakshya, Anaya and William, who joined the visit to learn more so they can lead assemblies next year on the incredible impact St Augustine’s makes. Also a huge well done to Hana, who will soon be joining our Sixth Form and is already leading by example through her volunteering.

      This visit was a reminder of the kindness, compassion, and community spirit that lies at the heart of Crossley Heath. 💛
