Thank you to Sam from WY Learning Providers for speaking with our Year 11 pupils this morning about apprenticeships, applications, and what employers look for. A valuable session as our young people make key future choices. #WeAreCrofton #CareersEducation

Our wonderful SLC pupils spent the afternoon spreading Christmas cheer at Shay Lane Primary! They ran tombolas, decorated baubles, sold delicious cakes, & even helped look after Santa himself. 🎅 A magical afternoon full of kindness, teamwork & festive spirit! ✨🎁 #WeAreCrofton

Excellent win for our Year 7 football team this evening against Featherstone in the cup. The match was played in a fantastic spirit and it was great to see some students representing school who have not played before! ⚽️

An amazing evening celebrating last year’s Year 11 pupils, the Class of 2025! We couldn’t be prouder of their achievements and it’s inspiring to hear how they’re doing so well at college, in their apprenticeship or in training. Congratulations to all! #WeAreCrofton #Classof2025

Thank you to the @pmnw team for a thought-provoking & hard-hitting PD day. Pupils were fully engaged, asked great questions, & reflected on choices & consequences — made even more powerful by first-hand experiences from those who’ve lived through the prison system. #WeAreCrofton

Excited for Y9’s first PD Day with @PMNW tomorrow — a hard-hitting, impactful look at the real consequences of unsafe choices, including hearing from inmates and exploring a mock prison cell. A powerful addition to our PD curriculum. #wearecrofton
