Tim HolmesIn Crosby we live out our motto “Others First”, encouraging each boy to think first about the needs of their neighbour, and then about their own. By caring for others first, we create a secure, enriching and happy community in which we will all always find support.
Crosby was built in 1905, and was named after Sir John Crosby, a Grocer, MP, diplomat, and builder of Crosby Hall in London in 1466. The House was originally based in Cottesmore House on West Street until it moved in 1907 to its current location on Milton Road.
The House maintains several characteristics and guiding principles, not least being respectful, courteous and considerate of all those around you, being honest at all times, and making the very most of the opportunities that you have, and being thankful for them.
