Our students are enjoying an unforgettable day in the capital, taking in iconic landmarks and gaining an incredible educational experience at the Palace of Westminster.

From sightseeing around Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square to interactive workshops inside Parliament, this trip offers a brilliant insight into the heart of UK democracy.

Whether debating policies in a mock snap election or learning the power of petitions, our Year 10 and Year 12 students are representing Crossley Heath with pride — and a lot of walking!

After defeats for the U13 and U14 cricket teams last week, the U15s turned the tide in a closely contested game against a strong Todmorden side. Crossley's batted first and dug in through the first 3 overs against consistently accurate Todmorden bowling. Opening bat Monty then got an eye for the ball and hit some fine shots, most of them to the boundary, for 64 before being bowled. With the rest of the Crossley Heath batting going cheaply, it was essential that Aayan K contributed some runs to give Crossley's hope of a total to defend. In his usual fashion Aayan hot a powerful 35 not out to give his bowlers something to attack, Crossley's ending their innings on 117.

When the excellent opening Todmorden batsmen started with assured confidence and hit 50 runs in quick time, a win looked doubtful for the away team. But when Matty D took a good catch on the boundary from the bowling of Matty A, Crossley's got a foothold in the game. Matty D produced a good last over to dismiss the other Todmorden opener, caught behind by Monty, and that laid the platform for Ayaan A and Aayan K to produce match securing bowling spells. Ayaan A's spinned out two whilst the pace and accuracy of Aayan K brought another wicket for very few runs.

Crossley's will now play the winners of GSAL and Ryburn in round two

Goodbye and Good Luck, Year 11!

Today we said a fond farewell to our wonderful Year 11 students as they head off to begin their GCSE exams.

We’re incredibly proud of the hard work, resilience and commitment they’ve shown throughout their time at Crossley Heath — especially in these final months of preparation.

This year group has shown real courage, kindness and excellence, and we know they’ll carry those values with them into the exam hall and beyond.

We wish them all the very best over the coming weeks — and we look forward to seeing so many of them again in Year 12, ready to begin their next exciting chapter with us!

Good luck, Year 11 — we believe in you and we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way!

We Did It!

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, supported and cheered us on for our #IceBucketChallenge – we raised almost £700 for Children's Mental Health! Your generosity has absolutely smashed our target and shown the power of our amazing school community!

As promised, Mr Jones, Mr Smith, Anaya and Lakshya bravely took the icy plunge – and yes, our mystery staff members joined in too!

Mr Jones has nominated three fantastic organisations to take on the icy plunge: our Old Crossleyans Association, Heath Old Boys' Association and our wonderful Crossley Heath Rugby Development Fund (Come on Paul Ramsden!)

We’re proud to be backing such a brilliant cause – and we couldn’t have done it without you. THANK YOU for your kindness, enthusiasm, and generosity
