This January brought about my one year anniversary of being Headteacher at Crawshaw Academy. Thankfully, although weather forecasts were predicting snow during various weeks, there wasn't the same disruption as there was in January 2025.

At Crawshaw Academy we believe that good health and wellbeing is essential for successful learning and happy lives for children and young people.

At Crawshaw Academy, we work hard to try and make what we do as relevant as possible to the world of work. Within lessons teachers consciously attempt to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding that employers want.

We are the academy’s Parent Teacher Association. We want to help promote Crawshaw Academy within the local area and to demonstrate the considerable talents of our young people.
RESPECT
Understanding and appreciating the worth of oneself, others, and the environment, fostering a culture of mutual respect.
INTEGRITY
To act with honesty and honour without compromising the truth, promoting ethical behaviour in and out of the classroom. This is how we behave when no one is watching.
DETERMINATION
A positive emotional feeling that promotes striving towards a difficult goal despite the challenges that this may involve.
