Thank you for visiting our website, where I hope you may learn everything there is to know about Crosby High School.
My name is Toni Oxton-Grant, and I consider it a great honour and joy to lead this amazing school.
We are a school that takes a highly proactive approach to all we do to help the students that enrol us.
We have expanded our school property over the past three years by adding four new classrooms, a staff room, intervention rooms, and a specially designed sports hall.
Even while it is a success to be rated as "Good" by Ofsted, I do not want to stop our effort to develop, and as a school, we are aiming for the "Outstanding" grade the next time we are inspected (which you can read about on the internet) (usually every three years.)
I'm committed to making sure your child receives excellent instruction in all disciplines and is continually encouraged to advance so they can reach their greatest potential in all spheres of development, including academic, physical, emotional, spiritual, moral, social, and independent growth.
The curriculum at Crosby High is developed with the students' needs in mind.
You will receive a "curriculum map" outlining the subjects your child will be learning at the start of each term.
We hope your kid or daughter enjoys their time at Crosby High School.
I invite you to explore all of the pages on our website to find out more about who we are.
