Welcome to our Virtual Open Evening Event

We are delighted to be able to welcome you to our Virtual Open Evening event and hope that the information uploaded to our website will give you a flavour of our school. You will find a range of video clips from the head teacher, key staff and students, plus information about each subject studied at Crossley Heath.

You can also view our online prospectus and the FAQs which may help with any other general queries and the 11+ Entrance Exam process. Please use the navigation buttons above to access these pages.

We appreciate that a virtual event is not the same as personally visiting the school and meeting staff and students but we hope that you can get a sense of the happy and welcoming environment that our school provides and we look forward to meeting you in the future. If you have any further queries this evening please do get in touch and use the “Chat with us” feature on any page.


The best people to listen to are those who are experiencing school right now – the students. Ordinarily on an open evening you would have the opportunity to chat to students and find out what it’s really like to study here. We hope these clips helps convey the views from students:


The Crossley Heath School is steeped in history and it is a privilege to have such a beautiful building which has been developed over recent years with modern facilities including a new Sixth form block and sports hall. If you have not previously visited the school it is perhaps more difficult to appreciate the building’s charm and appeal. The footage below will help give you a sense of what it can offer.
