It is a privilege to be the Headteacher of Crossgates Primary School. The dedication of the whole school community to provide the best possible educational opportunities for our children is what enables us to thrive. We are a happy, nurturing and successful school; the academic and personal progress of our children, along with their wellbeing, are equally valued.
We provide a rich and exciting curriculum that is filled with memorable experiences and challenge; we want our children to strive to achieve all that they can in all aspects of life to enable them to be purposeful, thriving and successful citizens of the future. There is a strong sense of community at Crossgates.
We are committed to working together (the children, staff, families and the Governing Board) to lead our school to achieve the best outcomes for all and to establish meaningful links with the local community. We would love to welcome you to the Crossgates family.
Please call the office to make an appointment to see our offer for yourselves; one of the team will make themselves available to show you around so that you can see our wonderful school in action.
