The Careers Fund is an organisation set up by the Old Crossleyan’s Association with the intention of helping both present and former pupils of the school to further their chosen career. There is an annual sum of money which is available to distribute to suitable applicants to the fund.

Grants have also been awarded to ex-students who became involved in worthwhile projects/activities that needed specific financial support. The committee still works actively to provide such support as well as to provide support to students who require help with funding out of school activities.

In recent years students and past students have been awarded grants to support them in their fundraising attempts to embark upon expeditions, Medlink courses, to attend summer schools and to enable them to participate in national and international competitions as well as providing much needed resources during university years.

Applications for financial support, which will be treated in strict confidence, should be made to Hazel Clayton (Committee Secretary) at hazelclayton42@hotmail.co.uk or to the Head Teacher, c/o the school.
