This week, all students in Years 7–10 have now completed their Emergency First Aid workshops learning CPR, how to use an AED, how to use an autoinjector and how to put someone in the recovery position.

Their maturity, focus and courage during these sessions have been outstanding. These are skills that could one day help save a life and we are incredibly proud of them.

A huge thank you to everyone who has already donated to our fundraiser for a 24/7 public-access defibrillator at the Moor Gate entrance. We’re edging closer to our target but we still need your help to get there.

If you haven’t donated yet, there’s still time:

Donate via ParentPay

Or send £1 in with your child on their PE day

Your kindness could make a life-saving difference to our school and wider community.

Today we presented a small token of our appreciation to James O’Rourke for his fantastic support of our Girls’ Sports Tour to Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

On behalf of everyone at Crossley Heath, thank you, James, for your generosity and belief in our students. Your support truly makes a difference.

We were thrilled to welcome representatives from Jeeyar Educational Trust UK to school recently. Their charitable endeavours are vast, from providing education and medical support to running community projects, offering scholarships and helping visually impaired children access the resources and care they need.

Although our Diwali celebrations were a celebration rather than a fundraising event, our kind and generous students still raised a fantastic £160 for the charity, which we are absolutely delighted about. Thank you to everyone who contributed for continuing to do us proud, and for keeping our school's spirit of philanthropy alive!

What an incredible moment for The Crossley Heath School Band, who proudly performed as part of a spectacular massed orchestra and choir at the world-famous Royal Albert Hall for Music for Youth’s Schools Prom!

Joining hundreds of young musicians from across the country, our students helped create a truly inspiring celebration of talent, teamwork and creativity, filling one of the most iconic venues in the world with music and energy.

We couldn’t be prouder of our brilliant musicians for representing Crossley Heath on such a grand stage, a once-in-a-lifetime experience they’ll never forget!

Our Year 7 students had a fantastic afternoon at the Victoria Theatre, where they watched the magical production of A Christmas Carol. From the festive set to the brilliant performances, the show brought Dickens’ classic to life in the most captivating way.

It was wonderful to see our students so engaged, laughing, gasping and jumping at the spooky bits! A brilliant cultural experience and a perfect way to get into the festive spirit.
