    • A Visit from Kate Dearden MP

      Published 09/05/25

      We were delighted to host Kate Dearden MP for Halifax today for a visit to our school. It was a wonderful opportunity to share our rich history, showcase our beautiful building and talk about the exciting plans we have for the future.

      Kate also took part in a lively discussion with a group of our students, who asked thoughtful and challenging questions about life in politics and current global issues. We were especially proud to see that Kate already knew some of our students thanks to their work experience in her office, a real testament to the ambition and drive of our young people. 🌟

      A huge thank you to Kate for taking the time to visit us, we hope to see you again soon!

    • Goodbye & Goodluck Y11

      Published 09/05/25

      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!

      A massive congratulations to our Year 9 netball team who were crowned Calderdale Champions on Monday!

      After a tense first half, with the score tied at 4-4, the team stepped up in style. They delivered an outstanding second-half performance, playing almost faultless netball. 💪

      👏 Special mentions to Sohana and Meimei for their rock-solid defence, Harriet, Isobel and Michelle for their rapid midcourt transitions, and our sharp-shooters Clara and Hara, who didn’t miss a single shot!

      🎯 Final score: 9–6
