We are a successful, thriving and happy community school situated in the beautiful market town of Wetherby in West Yorkshire. We were judged to be 'Outstanding' in all categories by Ofsted and are proud of our deep affiliation with the local community.
We work hard to achieve our exceptional results and are routinely amongst the highest achieving schools nationally in terms of progress made by the time children leave Crossley Street at the end of Key Stage Two.
The academic success of our children is just one part of what we work to achieve at Crossley Street and we provide a wide-range of extra-curricular opportunities for our children, from clubs such as Lego, Mindfulness, Table Tennis and Touch Typing; to outdoor learning opportunities such as Den Building, Forest Schools and our Eco Club.
We are proud of the value we place on developing the whole child and would love the opportunity to tell you more about how we go about this at one of our Open Days.
