Welcome to Hall Cross Academy,

Hall Cross is an historic institution which is proud of its traditions but what motivates us every day is securing the best future for everyone of the young people we serve.

A large and vibrant comprehensive academy with nearly 2000 students on roll including approximately 450 students in our thriving sixth form, Hall Cross is located over two campuses close to Doncaster town centre. We are therefore, very much at the heart of our community.

Having worked at Hall Cross Academy for 28 years, it was an honour to have been appointed to the role of Principal in 2019. I believe Hall Cross is a ‘school with a soul’ and I am determined that we retain our uniquely inclusive culture and ethos, our broad and balanced curriculum, and our fantastic range of extracurricular opportunities.

Our teachers are an outstanding team of professionals absolutely dedicated to innovative and exciting teaching practice which provides all learners with the opportunity to excel. Additionally, we have a dedicated pastoral team who work to support students with care and guidance should they require it.

Hall Cross is an academy that strives for excellence and balances that drive with a determination to ensure our students enjoy their school days. “Enjoying excellence” is therefore at the centre of our mission.

I hope this website provides you with the insight and information you need and if you require further information do not hesitate to get in touch using the contacts page.

Yours faithfully,

Simon Swain

Principal
