The story of the Crossley Heath School is ongoing and is one of
significant acedemic success, which is fitting because the school
is the product of the amalgamation of two rival establishments,
Heath Grammar School and Crossley and Porter Grammar School, both
which provided a fine education for the young people of Halifax.
Heath was founded in 1597 by the vicar of Halifax to provide a
free, classical education for boys. The Crossley Orphan Home was
the 1864 creation of the altruistic Crossley family and
subsequently became a mixed grammar school. The two schools merged
in 1985 to become the Crossley Heath School. The illustrations in
this book were drawn from an enormous fund of largely unpublished
archive material and it is hoped that the reader will recieve a
brief insight into the histories of the former schools and the
modern success story of Crossley Heath. It is worthy of its roots
and by virtue of the weight of its history is one of the oldest
institutions in Halifax. Gaudeamus igitur - let us indeed rejoice.
Crossley Heath is a school to be proud of.
