As promised, we’re sharing some of our students’ fantastic individual achievements from results day!
First up is Arissa, who achieved an incredible A*A*A 
She’ll be spending a year gaining valuable working experience and building her skills before heading to university next year to study Dentistry 
We’re so proud of you, Arissa – huge congratulations! 
Do you love seeing children learn to excel at sport?
Do you want to work with some of the most well-behaved, dedicated and motivated sporting students in our region?
Do you want to be a proud part of a school with sporting tradition dating back to 1600?
Could you coach the next Crossley Heath sporting superstar, following on from current 800 metre Olympian Max Burgin, two-time Olympian European Judo Champion Sophie Cox, Kiteboarder Connor Bainbridge, England rugby legend Brian Moore and the World’s first Black International footballer Andrew Watson?
Well, what a whirlwind yesterday was!
We’re absolutely thrilled to share that we celebrated lots of successes here at school yesterday as our students received their A Level results. 
A huge congratulations to all of our students – you should be so proud of your hard work and achievements. We can’t wait to see where your next chapter takes you, and we know that whatever next step you're taking, you will do your old school so proud.
We’ll be sharing more about individual successes soon, but for now, we’d like to give a special mention to Amelie and Luke – our first ever recipients of the Crossley Brothers Scholarship. Amelie achieved grades of A*AAC and is heading to the University of Oxford, and Luke achieved A*A*A*A and plans to study at The University of Sheffield.
This fantastic initiative, kindly funded by former student David Briggs, provides an annual cash bursary for 3 years, a yearly leadership conference, support with entrepreneurial initiatives and much more – all designed to help them thrive at university and beyond.
Well done Crossley Heath Class of 2025, and to Amelie and Luke! 
Alumni Spotlight – Bethany Wood (Class of 2021)
From the classrooms of Crossley Heath to the luxury property market of Dubai.... meet Bethany, one of our inspiring recent alumni!
At school, Bethany achieved some fantastic results in her A-Levels (PE and Mathematics among her favourites!) and was a county-level tennis and cross-country athlete.
After completing her first year of a BSc in Finance and Investment with a First, Bethany joined Bloomberg Europe on a prestigious degree apprenticeship. She shone in finance, market analysis, and client relationship management – even becoming one of the top performers across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Today, Bethany works as a Luxury Real Estate Broker and Property Investment Advisor in Dubai. She’s already had some wonderful successes in her role, and she’s just getting started.
Bethany’s advice to current students:
"Take the leap! You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Find something you’re passionate about, become an expert, and then work out how it can make you money."
We’re so proud to see Bethany making waves internationally and we can’t wait to see what’s next for her career! 
A huge congratulations to former Crossley Heath student Max Burgin, who has been crowned British Champion in the 800m! 
Max delivered a composed and dominant performance at the Novuna UK Athletics Championships in Birmingham on Sunday, securing victory in the men’s 800m and with it, a place at next month’s World Championships in Tokyo! 
Max continues to inspire us all with his incredible talent, dedication and determination. From your Crossley Heath family, we couldn’t be prouder of you Max!
We were incredibly proud of Matthew, who successfully earned a place on The Cricket Asylum’s England U16 team after impressing at the national trials earlier this year.
Matthew travelled to Tobago to represent the team in a prestigious international competition, competing against five other countries in a tournament hosted by the Government of Tobago. It was an amazing achievement and a fantastic opportunity for him to showcase his talent on the global stage.
A brilliant display of Courage, Excellence, and commitment, well done, Matthew!
This summer, we’d like to introduce you to some of our incredible alumni! 
We’ll be sharing a series of inspiring stories from former Crossley Heath, Crossley and Porter and Heath Grammar School students, like Fabrizio, former Crossley Heath Head Boy. His astounding academic ability has seen him recently graduate from Cambridge University with double first-class honours. Whilst there, he was also awarded the Marsh Prize for the highest dissertation mark in his year and he was admitted as a Scholar of King’s College three times. He's now embarking upon an exciting career as a Strategy Consultant in London. We cannot wait to see where life takes him.
“The school was never just a place of learning; it was a home. Crossley Heath taught me resilience, curiosity, and integrity.....lessons I’ll carry with me for life.” - Fabrizio

A huge thank you to all the students and parents who made our Colour Run such a brilliant success!
To our incredible students — thank you for bringing your energy, enthusiasm and smiles to every moment of the day. You made the event colourful, lively and full of fun! 
To our generous parents — thank you so much for your kind donations and continued support. Your contributions helped make the Colour Run possible and added to the amazing atmosphere of the afternoon. 
With 5 colour stations, glitter and face painting, a buzzing tuck shop, and a competitive tug of war, it was a celebration to remember!
Thank you for being part of it and making it so special, and don't ask about Pikachu and the koala...
Our Year 9 MEP students are over halfway through their 12-day trip to China!
We are incredibly proud of the Crossley Heath Band, who performed brilliantly as part of the National Festival of Music for Youth at the iconic Symphony Hall, Birmingham!
Their hard work, talent and teamwork truly shone on a national stage — they represented our school with style and skill. What an amazing experience!
And the music didn’t stop there... 
Following their performance, the band took part in a professionally run Jazz Workshop at the CBSO Centre, where they had the opportunity to further develop their musicality and creativity with expert guidance.
As we celebrate Fundraising Fortnight and the power of giving back, we’re thrilled to share an incredible story of generosity from one of our own.
David Briggs, CEO of company GeoComply and a proud former Crossley Heath student, is launching the brand-new Crossley Brothers Scholarships... an amazing opportunity for our Sixth Formers!
Each year, our two highest attaining A-Level students (including one from a disadvantaged background) will receive:
-£5,000 a year for 3 years
-A place at an exclusive leadership conference
-Ongoing career support and mentoring
-And lots more!
We’re so grateful to David, and we really hope that this opportunity inspires our superstar students to continue aiming high. We can't wait for Results Day to learn which of our wonderful students will receive the scholarship this year!
We've had a couple of days to reflect… and wow, what a Fundraising Fortnight it was! 
Basement Tour: Students explored years’ worth of hidden graffiti, artwork and artefacts. They discovered original features like the school's original washing facilities, heard spooky stories, and visited 'Gun Alley' - once used by young men training for the war. Practicing their aim with replica rifles, students reflected on the bravery and sacrifice of those former pupils. At the end, each student signed their name on a special board, becoming part of the school’s rich history.
Clocktower Tour: After climbing right up into the rafters (not one for those afraid of heights!), our winners were treated to stunning views over Halifax, an insight into the clock's history and inner workings, and the chance to leave their mark among decades of signatures from staff and students of the past.
It was a truly unforgettable morning and the perfect way to round off an amazing two weeks of fundraising! Thank you so much again to everyone involved.
