About

Crookhey Hall School exists to provide young people with an educational experience that will not only extend their academic and vocational social skills and abilities, but will also promote personal growth and help to build self-esteem.

In this way it is hoped that each individual will aspire to achieve their full potential, eventually leaving school with the determination to make a positive contribution to society in the years to come.

The school itself occupies an enviable 15-acre setting in countryside to the south of Cockerham, near Lancaster and has the capacity to educate 100 boys and girls (10-17 years) as day pupils within small class groups.

The pupils all have EHCPs identifying social, emotional and mental health difficulties and are drawn from towns and cities in the surrounding region, including Blackpool, Fleetwood, Preston, Leyland, Wigan, Blackburn, Lancaster and Cumbria Well-resourced specialist facilities, including a large horticulture area, hair and beauty salon and catering department, ensure pupils can focus their interest to a variety of attainable employment opportunities.
