Welcome to Crosshill Special School

Welcome to Crosshill School. 

We are a diverse, happy community where students learn and develop in a nurturing and safe environment.  We have a shared vision of “Prepare and Flourish” and we strive to ensure that all of our students achieve their potential, regardless of their starting points. We are ambitious for all of our students and are totally committed to overcoming any barriers to learning with which they may face. We are driven to ensure that our students develop into young adults who are able to live settled, fulfilled and happy lives.

By utilising our highly personalised pathways we are able to partner creative and ambitious curriculum offers with expert teaching, pastoral care and multiagency support. This ensures that we are able to meet diverse needs. As Headteacher I am privileged to lead a team of dedicated, hard-working and passionate staff. Our students flourish in the classroom and beyond, with diverse opportunities, including facilitating a regular market stall at Blackburn Market, to operating a food bank, to participating in sports tournaments.

We are delighted to be part of a family of schools within Oak Learning Partnership. Oak Learning Partnership is passionate about inclusion and improving the life chances of all children, both within the trust and beyond. As a school in the trust, we pride ourselves on the common ethos of “inclusion at the heart of the trust”. We are a welcoming school with a strong emphasis on pastoral care, alongside ambitious education that is tailored to need.

If you do require any further information or you would like to get in contact please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
