Crossley And Porter School Halifax



Crossley & Porter School Skircoat Moor Road, Halifax was originally the Crossley Orphanage.

In 1887, Thomas Porter made a donation on condition that his name be included in the name of the institution, and a Royal Charter of 31st January 1887 renamed the institution The Crossley and Porter Orphan Home and School.

In 1917, it was said to accommodate

160 boys, all boarders, on the hostel system

In 1919, the orphanage received Royal Assent to become a secondary school and admitted day pupils.

On 9th November 1923, it was announced that a bequest from J. W. Horsfall was to be used to buy the Crossley and Porter sanatorium and convert it into a home for the blind.

In September 1924, in memory of his wife, Mary, John W. Standeven gave £10,000 to the school as an endowment for reducing orphan's fees.

In 1944, it came under control of the local authority.

In 1985, Crossley and Porter School amalgamated with Heath Grammar School to become The Crossley Heath School
