The honour of serving as Crabbs Cross Academy's headteacher makes me very happy. I hope you'll spend some time browsing our website to see the plethora of thrilling opportunities we provide for our kids. Since 1877, there has been a school on the property, and we are pleased with its lengthy history. A strong awareness of the need to make sure Crabbs Cross Academy competes confidently in our fast changing society runs parallel to this pride in our legacy. Flying high...creating success together is the central theme of all we do at our school. We take great satisfaction in the bonds we create with both our students and their parents as a school. We work together since we are both a part of the Redditch West School Trust, as is our cooperation with The Vaynor First School. Our students actively participate in shaping their own learning, and our knowledgeable staff closely collaborates with the students to offer everyone the best educational opportunities. We make an effort to provide our kids a sense of security, worth, and motivation so they can benefit the most from their experiences and graduate as capable, independent thinkers who are prepared to succeed in the outside world. The Crabbs Cross Academy is a school. In addition, it is a place of camaraderie and trust where cooperation is valued above individualism. Our team is dedicated and passionate, our kids want to study, and our parents give us their trust and support.
