Oak Experiences

At Crosshill School, we are proud to be part of Oak Learning Partnership – a multi-academy trust with schools across Blackburn with Darwen and Bury. Being part of the trust provides us with access to a wide range of opportunities, one of which is our Oak Experiences programme.

At Crosshill, we want every student to leave school with memories that stay with them for life — experiences that inspire awe, joy and pride, and that help shape who they become. We believe these moments of excitement and discovery not only build character but also create a sense of belonging and positivity within our community.

Enriching education through experience

Our Oak Experiences give pupils the chance to enjoy those unforgettable “I’ll never forget when we…” moments. These include residential trips, visits to pantomimes and theatres, and a variety of cultural and social experiences designed to broaden horizons and build confidence.

The leadership team is currently developing and personalising the Oak Experiences programme to ensure it reflects the unique strengths, needs and aspirations of our Crosshill community, as well as complimenting the curriculum offer. Through this work, we aim to provide enriching opportunities that help every student thrive — both at Crosshill School and beyond.
