Following on from our last post, we’re delighted to continue celebrating the achievements of our students from Prize Giving 2025.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be highlighting more of the pupils and prizes awarded on the evening, each recognising not only academic excellence but also the values and character that make our Crossley Heath community so special.

This time, we’re celebrating Mariyam, winner of the Kevin Allen Prize for Perseverance in Mathematics.

This award is presented in tribute to the much-missed Kevin Allen, a highly respected Maths teacher who sadly passed away ten years ago. His legacy lives on through this prize, recognising students who demonstrate determination, resilience and a deep commitment to learning.

Mariyam’s teachers described her as “one of the most determined and focused students to grace Crossley Heath Sixth Form in recent years – a shining example of what you can achieve when you truly put your mind to it.”

Congratulations, Mariyam. With such an outstanding work ethic, we have no doubt you are destined for great things!
