We are delighted that you have found us and we hope the information we will be providing is helpful and gives you a real sense of our schools and what special places they are for all learners. This website was created to serve as a resource for information and assistance for both the school communities and potential parents. Both Crossways Infant and Junior Schools have excellent reputations as caring and successful schools, which have been enhanced due to the creation of a federation between the two schools in September 2012. We are pleased to show people around if they desire to come and are proud of the variety of chances and facilities we have to offer. We cherish our relationship with parents and think that it is crucial to learning success. All of our kids should, in our opinion, find their time at Crossways to be rewarding, stimulating, and fascinating. Please spend some time browsing the website to see what the kids have been up to.
