Cranmore Chronicle 11 January 2019 Editor: Mrs S Connolly
Junior Department House Captains
Welcome to the Easter Term I wish you and your family a Happy New Year for 2019! We have come to the end of our first week and I am sure that all colleagues and pupils, old and new, are getting into the rhythm of the busy life which is Cranmore. Having just returned, I shall be out of school from Wednesday onwards next week for what is a personal milestone. I shall be attending CISC - the National Conference for Heads of Catholic Independent Schools – for the 25th consecutive year. Moreover, my term of office as Vice-Chair comes to an end having served for six years. This gathering had modest beginnings but its membership comprises virtually every eligible school in the UK, and quite a few from overseas, representing prep, senior and special schools. Whilst each school is unique, we share a common thread which is to develop the whole person in the likeness of Jesus Christ. A tall order, certainly, but such a holistic view of education reflects our commitment to nurturing each child in the fullest sense. Michael Connolly, Headmaster
