Holy Cross is a Catholic comprehensive school in Chorley, Lancashire, UK.
The school is attended by approximately 850 pupils, who almost exclusively reside in Chorley itself, or the surrounding villages of Chorley Borough.
In 2004, the school was awarded the status of specialist science and sports college.
The school originaly started out as separate boys and girls only schools. St Augustines was the boys school, while St Hildas was a all girls school.
Until the late 90's the school still operated in the remnants of the 2 separate school buildings joined by a pathway; which was notorious for large snowball fights in Winter as pupils walked between lessons from upper school to lower school or vice versa. The lower school site has now been demolished making way for new housing.
